As follows VOP 91 then there is C3 in a small oval & just below the above is 97.I was thinking VOP was a East German police marking ?????. Any ideas???? I am not very good at postin pictures or I would do so. There is no right way to do a wrong thing !

There is no right way to do a wrong thing !

Other Czech post-war armory codes included AYM, TGF and SHE, although none of these have been found on CZ52's. A military pistol can be identified by the crossed swords stamped on the frame. · On most CZ52's are marked with the following stampings: · RID = brno moravia built · VOZ = a rearsenaled pistol with the year of rework stamped on it as part of a 1970's era program. Later this stamp was changed to VOP · Crossed Swords = denotes an army pistol · Circle With T on chamber = tested and proofed · Z stamping on frame near trigger = retrofitted decocker safety · 52 to 55 = the year the pistol was built · CAI.ST.ALBANS.VT = Century Arms imported pistol · INT OR INTER.CO = Interarms Company import
