Description:
WORLD WAR II German SPREEWERKE “cyq” Code P.38 Pistol 9x19 Luger C&R

WW2 German “Wehrmacht” 9mm Sidearm!

Here we present a Third Reich German Spreewerke “cyq” code P.38 Pistol, made circa the middle of World War II. 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 P38 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 Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945, was the primary buyer of these pistols, but the German police also used about 6,800 P38s. 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”.

The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright throughout. The numbers match. Grips are whole. This is a fantastic example of the pistol that was made to replace the iconic Luger pistol in German service during World War II!
