J.P. Sauer 38H 7.65mm Pistol (1940, German Military Proof)

The Sauer 38H was a small semi-automatic pistol made in Nazi Germany from 1938 until just after the end of World War II in Europe by J. P. Sauer & Sohn, then based in Suhl, Germany. The "H" in the model number is short for "hahn", referring to the internal hammer of the firing mechanism. This example is from 1940. The model 38H was used by German armed forces such as the Luftwaffe, as well as police forces in numbers nearly equal to the Walther PPK. The Sauer 38H was produced for military, police, and the commercial market. This example is still in good shape and does show German Military proof marks. It comes with one magazine.
