I just luv these things. They have good handling, some HAND TOOL engraving, and can digest American-made "semi-magnum" loads. Not all were made at "VEB werke". Wolf is a good example of this.
Don't worry, I see lots of weird stuff from DDR. Not too long ago I looked at made in DDR PP clone 6,35mm with Zella-Mehlis proofs.
I just picked up W-German #797.. with strange proof marks. Most carry German eagle mark + N + Ulm proof mark, but this one is different, and the mark is not that of Berlin, Kiel, Hannover, Munich or Cologne.
