Is this DDR refurb but not VoPo issue

The grips on that gun are aftermarket and "gesichert" is not really the maker...

This pistol looks almost Parkerized in the pics. I think it has been cleaned up for refinish by being blasted with some medium or other. Is blasting the typical approach for VoPo refinish?

I've seen listings for Gesichert Lugers before--haven't paid enough attention to tell if it is the same, uninformed person or a series of them. I messaged one such lister last year, but don't know if my pedagogy had any effect. The lower the level of experience/knowledge of the lister, the more bizarre and entertaining the titles and descriptions! Somebody who lists in this manner seems unable or unwilling to crack Wikipedia, at the very least, to ensure their listing reaches the right buyers. I'm perversely amused by such displays of ignorance; even though they don't know the first thing about what they are selling, notice that their prices are usually right up there.
