German
Walther P38 - Spreewerk Factory
* "P.38 cyq (serial #)" - The letters
cyq was the manufacturer's code assigned to the Spreewerk factory
in March, 1941.
* "P.38 cvq (serial #)" - Some collectors theorize that
cvq stampings are due to the tail breaking off the y in the cyq
die, other collectors theorize that cvq is a legitimate code.
Spreewerk serial numbers are limited to four digits and a letter
suffix but they did not start over at the beginning of each year
and there is no year marking |
