Curious about VoPo valuation...

Edward Tinker · 03-29-2014, 11:04 AM

From what I understand - and have read in Marschal Dieters books - east german lugers were refurbished, fixed up, and used (plus a few were made) - from what I understand that the russians captured stocks and from surrendering soldiers and like most things, just boxed up and sent back to the USSR on trains. Then stored either dipped before and then stored in oil or were dipped for resale to the west.

Anyway, I apologize Marc for getting everything off subject! Looks like a very nice vopo / is that a weimar army marking? Looks like WW1, but the rest is weimar.
