Volkspolitzei Ost-Berlin

The Mauser Luger had a couple of proofmarks that I didn't even think about, but finally got around to looking up.


Them's East German Volkspolitzei (or VoPo) acceptance marks.

Still chasing the flower marking on the frontstrap.

    Found it for you
    Seems like you may have a soviet sector marking on it. And it might be more valuable than others.

    Scroll down mid page.
