6/24/2023 0 Comments Walther p38 cyq serial numbers![]() Cheers, ~ Greg ~.Ī few months ago, I was watching P38's on Gunbroker and doing the usual research that I do prior to buying a surplus weapon. I'm more than happy with my Spreewerke, so I'm sure I'll just end up spending more money on other things. I wouldn't mind adding a Walther made example to the collection at some point, but German guns aren't really a focus for my collection (prices are too crazy), so I doubt I'll go out specifically looking for one. The one and only P38 in my collection is also a Spreewerke example made in August of 1944.Īll matching, non-import marked. The plant originally made anti-aircraft guns, their machining equipment was not designed for small work, like pistols, thus the rough machining marks found on cyq P-38s. The army now demanded 10,000 pistols per month from Spreewerke, although this amount was never obtained.īy the end of the war Spreewerke produced around 285,000 P38s. In August they delivered another 300 for testing, and these were finally given the long awaited acceptance proof, (eagle 88). At the end of June 1942 they delivered 50 pistols for testing, which were rejected. The Spreewerke Factory at Berlin-Spandau was the third manufacturer assigned to produce the P38.
