An interesting KU Luger

crgkstnr, I believe you are right. According to John Walter in THE LUGER BOOK, the distinctive features of the VOPO Lugers "are the distinctive matt blue finish, the dark plastic grips with concentric circle mark and new magazines marked 2/1001"

My gun has all of the above features. I just examined the mark under a good light and 15x glass and can see the very ends of two of the sunburst rays at the bottom of the punch marks. Could it be that the Germans defaced the mark before releasing the guns to the public?
