Germany. P-38 CYQ Spreewerk, late war w/ Holster
HISTORY. The P-38 was manufactured by three Germany companies, Walther (AC), Mauser (BYF) & Speewerk (CYQ). Metallwarenfabrik Spreewerk GmbH was a German weapons manufacturing company with factories in Spandau, Germany and Grottau, Czechoslovakia. Spreewerk produced a number of important weapons and components before and during WW2 including 280,880 of the Walther designed P-38 pistol, which was the standard service pistol of the German Heer (Army) and the famous 88 Flak/ anti-tank gun.
Typical late war “CYQ” Spreewerk P-38, Serial # a7095, manufactured c. Feb 1945. These late war Spreewerk P-38s normally show signs of rough craftsmanship and a dull military finish and this one fills the bill. Made by Polish slave labor who were not interested in making nice looking pistols. Although not pretty, these P-38s tell a tail of history. This one has a nice bore, E/88 on the left frame and right slide, VERY nice bakelite grips, 95% finish and a MINT late war pebble finish leather P-38 holster. Vet bring back.
