Is this DDR refurb but not VoPo issue

www.prussia.us,

regarding point 4), the GDR did not send their P.08s to other nations, the Volkspolizei gave them to the worker's brigades when they replaced them. Guns were also bought from Hungary and Russia to fill the niche at a later time.

The ones sold as the first lot to the U.S. had the star defaced. The lot that later made it through Frankonia have their import mark and the sunburst star intact.

Ithacaartist might be right, the finish does look sandblasted and as it was pointed out by Vlim, the Vopos restamped the upper on my Vopo 08 and the others I have seen. I have not seen a Vopo frame restamped but that is no conclusive proof, only yet another warning flag on that fishy gun.
