Hello Bill,
Your SPREEWERKE ( CYQ ) P-38 sounds correct to me. They were made in Berlin and usually are less finished than Mauser / Walther P-38's. Your pistol is late 44 production ( from memory...) JVD mags are correct. Eagle 88 is the SPREEWERKE Waffenampt. Like John said, try the sister forum... Below is CYQ no 8971 V ... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> kidvett |
