Spreewerke P-38 - Need help identifying stamp
Went to look at a Luger project gun yesterday, but it was too much of a project so I ended up with a P-38 instead. It's a bit rough around the edges (just like any Spreewerke P-38), but it's in great condition, no import marks and the barrel looks like it has never been fired. Just some holster wear and a few minor scratches, that's it:

Any ideas will be appreciated! |
E/88
Hi Ollie, It's just a very poor E/88 stamp that is common on Spreewerk P.38's.. Your's looks to be one of the finer fit and finish examples... Most are a lot more crude .. Nice P.38... best to you, til...lat'r...GT:thumbup:

And yeah, it looks pretty good in the pictures, but a lot of that is in the way I shot the pictures... Digital magic can even make a Spreewerke look good. :thumbup: |
Almost looks like a Czech 'lion' stamped over the 'eagle 88'
You might google CZ 46 or Spreewerke P38..and see what pops up. |
I signed up at http://www.p38forum.com/ a while back, and the guys there are very helpful and knowledgeable. They confirmed that this is a legit and original cyq in very good condition. I guess I lucked out on this one. :thumbup:

Cool thing about the Spreewerk guns..you can date them to the year and month they were made by the serial number charts posted over at the P38 forums.
I've got a P38 Spreewerk made in March 1945..a B prefix gun Looks a lot like yours only has the cog style hammer. |
