Martin:
I believe that you are correct about the history of the gun: German military, Russian capture, east German VoPo. These are generally very good shooters, but it is always good advice to have it checked over first.
The ammo you show is 140 grains bullet weight (S&B) or 125 Magtech. I'd use either the 125 gr. or buy some 115 Magtech, S&B or Winchester white box. 115 will stress the gun less than the heavier stuff.
LEt us know how it shoots!
