Just bought my first Luger.....

It appears to be a VOPO of some type, has the grips and the C/N barrel.......

Any thoughts on this? Paid too much/got a deal?

Anyway, I've needed a Luger for the longest and wanted a VOPO, so I jumped in. It will be a while before this one makes it over here, but I can wait.

It appears to be a Vopo or Russian capture
You don't say where you are from but at approximately $750 US flat you are in the higher range of fair for this pistol. Add to this any shipping, insurance, import/dealer fees and you may be slightly over.
The two spare magazines help.

If I were in the US I would have looked for a similar rig here locally. A run of the mill Vopo like this is not worth the import headaches to the US IMHO

They don't get more 'VoPo' than this. Prices have been going up over here in the old world, so it's not that bad a deal if it would stay in Europe.

I'm afraid Alan has a good point here, by the time you get it to the US, it won't be a bargain deal anymore.

But it's a nice VoPo nonetheless.
