An all matching Eastie reworked Luger is almost nonexistant. Mismatched/renumbered parts is just what you expect when you find one. I have found that usually the toggle and breechblock comes from one pistol, the slide comes from another and the lower half comes from a third pistol. The barrel is almost always Eastie new made. Many variations exist but parts from two to three pistols is generally the norm.

 

A number of spare parts were also made by the East Germans themselves, and used on the rebuilt guns as well. The most recognizable being sideplates and take down levers.

 

Not much to add.

The receiver was usually force matched to the frame number and they loved to use complete toggle links from other pistols, although you can find the funniest combinations.

So this being the 'norm' on DDR guns, it doesn't affect the value at all.
Sometimes you see the numbers on the small parts X-ed out.

I also have a 1941 dated Mauser with an Erfurt side plate, including sear safety cutout, as well as a VoPo that is mostly a first issue P08. We even know the existance of a VoPo with a crossed rifles Russian/Bulgarian receiver.

 

I got one from Sarco about 20 years ago. The only thing VOPO were the grips and the 2 matching Police magazines. There were no VOPO stamps, no forced match parts. It's an all matching BYF41.

 

Please post some pictures of that jobber!

 

I got last week a VoPo P.08 without any replaced parts, a Mauser byf 42.......I think so.
All matching serial numbers.
Still the original barrel, Mauser grips and original blueing.Unfortunatelly the pistol was sold 1984 in Germany and got new german proof stamps (only to see if you disassemble the pistol).
The VoPo stamp is under the side plate ,VoPo Bezirk 10.
One magazine without a serial number,the second renumbered to the gun.
