Spreewerk P.38 9mm Luger Pistol

The P.38 was developed to replace the Luger as the main issue pistol for the Wehrmacht as the Luger was significantly more expensive. The P.38 has 1/3 fewer parts, and those were mass-produced and interchangeable where the Luger parts were hand-fitted. The P.38 was also fitted 'loose' so it was much more tolerant of dirt and fouling. It features use of Bakelite in the grips, a double action mode in the trigger, and matching serial numbers on the metal parts. The magazines do not show S/Ns.
