WORLD WAR II 3rd Reich German SPREEWERKE cyq Code P.38 Semi-Auto C&R Pistol
RUSSIAN CAPTURE MARKED “Wermacht” Sidearm w/HOLSTER
Here we present a C&R German Third Reich Spreewerke “cyq” code P.38 Pistol, made circa the early to middle of World War II in Spreewerke, Czechoslovakia. It is estimated that some 284,500 P.38s were manufactured at Spreewerke with the 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 Nazi 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, and the large “X” indicating the Russian capture mark. The gun bears the acceptance marks “Eagle/88”, Eagle/WaA 135, and “Eagle”.
The overall condition is very good. Armory refinished. The action is excellent—one of the smoother double action triggers for a P.38. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. The numbers are force matched. The holster is in fair shape with some worn stitching and a missing belt loop.
