August 1944 WORLD WAR II SPREEWERKE P.38 cyq Code 3rd Reich German 9mm
C&R WW II GERMAN MILITARY Sidearm
Description: August 1944 WORLD WAR II SPREEWERKE P.38 cyq Code 3rd Reich German 9mm C&R WW II GERMAN MILITARY Sidearm Here we present a C&R German Third Reich Spreewerke “cyq” code P.38 Pistol, made in August of 1944 during World War II in Spreewerke, Czechoslovakia. It is estimated that some 284,500 P.38s were manufactured at Spreewerke with the first series of serial numbers running from 501 to 10,000z. The P.38 was designed by Walther to replace the Luger P.08 as the standard service weapon for the Third Reich’s Wermacht. The Luger was a ground-breaking design, but quite expensive to produce. The P.38 was the first locking breech pistol to feature the double/single action firing mechanism with a decocking safety lever, a prelude to many modern pistols to come. It also features a loaded chamber indicator that is both visible and tactile, extending out of the top rear of the slide, just above the hammer. The falling block locking mechanism was also carried into future pistol designs. Many of these design features are found in the Beretta 92 or U.S. M9 pistols. The Wermacht, which was the unified armed forces of Germany from 1935 to 1945, was the primary buyer of these pistols, but the German police also used about 6,800 P.38s. The left side of the slide is marked “P.38” and “cyq”, the code for Spreewerke. The gun bears the acceptance marks “88” and “Eagle/Swastika”. The grips are Julius Posselt’s resin grips. The overall condition is nearing fine. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright, sharply rifled bore. Clear and legible markings. Numbers match. Both grips contain less than average handling. Includes a spare magazine. Here is a very nice example of a German Third Reich pistol that was to replace the iconic Luger! This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 5 inches. Caliber: 9x19mm Parabellum Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1900 #228384 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
