Reworks, and the changes in how they are regarded

Kyrie & David J, Even though you both offer different points of view, I value them both.

For futher details on E.German VOPO markings the only referece that I know of at the present is Warren Buxton's "The P.38 Pistol" Volume 3 (available from me @$65 postpaid) which touches on these lugers and most of the P.38 info also applies. I also have in my collection a NEW PRODUCTION (less than 150 made) E. German Luger with N prefix serial numbers starting at N1000 and highest know is N1118. Interesting in that it was made without stock lug or lanyard loop and only a large Crown/N on center toggle link. I definately consider these rare variations of the future.
