World War German SPREEWERKE “cyq” Code P.38 Semi-Auto C&R Pistol
EAGLE Proofed Wehrmacht 9mm Sidearm!
Here we present a C&R German Spreewerke “cyq” code P.38 Pistol, made circa 1943 in Spandau, Germany. The P.38 was designed by Walther to replace the Luger P.08 as the standard service weapon for the Third Reich’s Wehrmacht. 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 Wehrmacht, 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 frame and slide bear the acceptance marks “Eagle/88” and “Eagle”.
The overall condition is good. Original finish with a bit of pitting on the slide forward of the safety. Excellent action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. Both grips are in good shape with expected handling.
