On firearms, we typically only accept credit cards or money orders/cashier's checks. This is a stellar example of a P.38.Īll items are also available for sale in our brick & mortar store and are subject to prior sale. This is an all-matching "O"-block pistol, so it is a fairly late gun. This example features the crosshatched pattern machining on both sides, which is well loved by collectors. This is a Spreewerk-made P.38 in excellent condition. They are the least produced in total numbers of the 3 manufacturers, who knows maybe one day they will be more desirable, the way the Japanese last ditch rifles are becoming now.Spreewerk P.38 CYQ Pistol (Early 1944, O-block) German WW2 Spreewerke P38 Nazi Think they are unappreciated gems in the rough. What my searching has uncovered for me, is a new interest in cyq pistols I did not have before. When I set my sights on clean, no letter P.38 pistols to collect, I just never would have thought a nice Spreewerk example would be so hard to find. Even the Russian capture cyq pistols I have seen are also " i'' or later suffixes. While they were not easy to find, they were not that hard either. What has stumped me is I do have 3 nice Walther ac code P.38s in three different years with no letter suffix, as well as a Mauser byf no letter. You are probably correct that many, if not most were lost in the East. range 1 to 10,000!! At least they think they are worth a bit more. Plus add 100% for no letter suffix, ser no. Plus add 15% for early features (Frame & extractor cut 1 to 1000d). Rlatham & Spaceman Those are nice cyq rigs! As far as value goes I would think a bit more than other no letter suffix pistols The current 37th Blue book of gun values, on page 1442 list cyq standard 95% as $650. Are the early better condition ones being kept because they are fewer? Must admit even my early extractor, unreinforced trigger area frame cyq has a quite a bit fewer machine marks then most photos I have observed. Maybe all early ones went east, and the vet bring backs from France were later ones? How ever the nice no letter cyq has evaded me. For some reason seems to be a lot of late & very late Spreewerk available, but it was hard to find one lower than a letter "i". However my cyq is 6021a, the lowest clean early cyq I was able to find. So far have a byf 42, ac 41, 42, & 44, byf 44 Police L, all no letter suffix. Passing on quite a few letter pistols in search of nice no suffix ones. Decided to go with early regular production P.38s, no letter suffix. From what I have learned here, it is better to narrow a collection to a certain type or era. WW2, post war P.38s and P1 pistols, as well as P4, P5s even a P5 Compact as my daily carry, only recently in the past few years have I started to collect WW2 P.38 pistols. While I have always had at least one or two P.38 pistols nearly all my life, they were always as shooters.
