An interesting KU Luger

After Kyrie posted the VOPO Administrative District listing, I had to run and get my Luger again. This VOPO stamp is under the sideplace on the frame behind the takedown lever (when in closed position).

Mine reads "3" which according to this list is Neubrandenburg.

Now to get a map of Germany out.....

Thanks Kyrie.

Funny, but while my gun is VoPo marked, it did not come with "bullseye" grips (rather it had two different style of plastic grips -- one had shreds of holster leather between the diamonds).

As to finish, I'm not sure if it's "dipped" blue or not. The box (AIM) said "original finish" and I do notice that the barrel (new Crown N replacement) has fresher bluer blue than the frame, which has some very light pitting in spots with worn off spots on the sideplace, grip area of the frame, etc.

So some of these VoPo marked guns came thru without bullseye grips and showing some holster wear.

Mine is mismatched and has a S/42 "Gothic S" (1935 K-date?) toggle.

I know it's a hunk of junk to you guys, but I like it....
