Pretty cool!

I've always wanted a wartime P38, but never found one to trip my fancy hard enough to reach for my wallet. That is until yesterday, when I aquired a vet bring back Spreewerkes.

Typical of the CYQ pistols(my slide has CVQ) , the machine marks are prolific! But it is about 95% or better original finish(probably original finish) and probably left the factory just in time to get surrendered or captured. Has a b prefix serial which I think would put it in 1945. Grips may not be right, but not sure. Could be Walther grips. Got a bit to learn about P38 pistols

Just the opposite of the beautiful early wartime Walther . My Spreewerkes is roughly finished.

I'm glad I resisted all the West German post-war alloy framed P38 and P1 guns that have been tempting me. The Spreewerkes P38 and it's holster(got a rig, gun, mag, holster, no spare mag, that got lost!). Will fit in nicely with my collection.
