why so many toggles swapped in VOPOs?

[Joe in Colorado]

Hello forum members and best wishes.

We recently had a post with a VOPO G-date Luger with BYF toggle.

I have a like new VOPO, photos attached, it should have a Mauser banner toggle but DWM instead.

I've seen other VOPOs with swapped toggles.

My questions please-do members agree that a fair amount of VOPOs have swapped toggles and if so, is there a good reason such as financial incentive to do more rework or if the toggle was easily messed up and needed swapping?

Regarding mine-it has a Simson side plate so it has parts from several German eras. By the way, the fit and finish seem excellent to me.

I'll also add a period VOPO Luger photo and a photo of an East German subway ghost station-I got to ride through this station during a visit in 1977. It was creepy-the tile decoration right out of WW2, subdued lighting, the train slowed, and VOPOs with slung AKs like in the photo.

Best Wishes, Joe
