WORLD WAR II German SPREEWERKE “cyq” Code P.38 Semi-Auto C&R Pistol
EAGLE Proofed Wehrmacht 9mm Sidearm w/HOLSTER
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 grips are Julius Posselt’s resin grips.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright bore with nice rifling. Numbers match. Legible markings. Both grips are in good shape with average handling. The magazine is marked “P.38”. Good leather holster with German stamps and a “1944” date. Here is a nice example of the Nazi German pistol that was to replace the iconic Luger!
