My New 1939 VOPO

In my recent quest to find suitable spare magazines for my 1916 DWM P08, I visited an antique gun dealer on Friday PM who sold me 2 Swiss magazines.

As I was about to leave the shop, the owner mentioned that he had that morning received a 1939 P08 VOPO and would I like to have a look?
I took it apart and bought it in under 10 minutes!

Condition is good, with all matching numbers & 2 matching magazines, except for the barrel which is differently numbered.
The bore is in excellent condition.
The trigger feels slightly spongy/lazy, not as crisp as my 1916, I suspect that a new trigger spring will sort that out.

I've been looking for a shooter and this seems to fit the bill perfectly! I'll try it out during this coming week.

Please excuse the crappy iPhone pics the light in the shop wasn't great.

Best,
Mike
