I have a Spreewerke P-38 that I'm trying to find a little more information on. The left slide is marked P 38 with the cyq Spreewerke marking. The serial number 7844 on the slide is followed by an m. The left side of the receiver has the serial number 7844 also followed by an m Any information would be greatly appreciated. Jul 25, 2013 Need help dating a Spreewerke P38. Guys, I have a cyq (Spreewerke) P38 pistol that I'd like to date. The serial number is 3341t. It's all matching except the magazine. Bore is excellent, bright and sharp. No import markings. Unfortunately it has been reblued. What year was it produced. Dec 28, 2010 What I think makes my P38 interesting is that although the serial numbers on all the parts match, it has CVQ stamped in the slide and CYQ on the barrel. Although, it fits and functions well.it definitely shows the character typical of Spreewerk's haste to manufacture and unskilled labor.
The P.38 replaced the production of the time-consuming and expensive P.08. It was the numerically most common pistol of the German Wehrmacht. The production started 1939 at Walther and at Mauser and Spreewerke 1942
