Yes, we can see it hanging on the wall behind the $1019 Luger. That is too much for a Nambu, unless it has the clamshell holster, extra magazine, and cleaning rod. And is a Winter trigger guard Type 14 in excellent condition. Otherwise, $600-$650.

I wasn't into Japanese handguns either, but a member here bought one & showed it off, and I started doodling with PhotoShop and came up with an 'artillery' Nambu, and that kick started me into doing three more long-barreled handguns with tangent sights.

But I digress...

The VoPo has a history that no other variation of Luger does - It's life didn't stop in 1945. The East German police [VolksPolizei] either used this Luger or stockpiled it for emergency use. Perhaps some day soon we will learn the armories that built these from parts, what units were issued them, or where they were stored. That's history, and VoPo's are a part of it.
