What if it was done Intentionally ? Towards the End of the war when Intelligence was starting to give the allies Targets, the weapons plants, Ball bearing Factories, And research facilities were prime Targets. Here are some pictures of my February 1945 Spreewerk manufactured P38:Ĭlick to expand.I did read it.Looks convincing.But one thing he didnt consider in his report. 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.Īlthough, it fits and functions definitely shows the character typical of Spreewerk's haste to manufacture and unskilled labor. There has always been a controversy did they switch codes or did the stamping die break causing the "Y" to look like a "V". Sometime in January of 1945, Speewerk switched from CYQ to CVQ as a manufacturer.
So when the owner of my local gun shop said he had a P38 he wanted me to look at AND it turned out to be a Spreewerk CVQ. In my research I learned about Spreewerk and the "CYQ/CVQ broken die controversy". An Enfield Number 2 Revolver made by a Scotish auto manufacturer, IBM M1 Carbine, etc. My collection tends to be intentionally eclectic. A few months ago, I was watching P38's on Gunbroker and doing the usual research that I do prior to buying a surplus weapon.
