The sides of the slide also show minor handling marks. All of the serrations are sharp. The grip screws have very slight disfigurement. The markings are clear. The quality of the metal preparation prior to finishing is rather poor, and would indicate that this pistol was made more towards the end of the war. Overall, this pistol rates in about Excellent condition.

The magazine pouch on the front of the holster shows light wear and a surface loss near the bottom. The leather on the outside of the holster shows handling marks, with a cut through the leather at the bottom. There is no surface loss. The back side of the holster has 2 belt loops, which are intact, and show minor handing marks and light surface loss where a belt would rub. All of the stitching appears to be intact. The takedown tool is missing. Altogether, the holster is in Very Good to Fine condition. Also included is a notarized declaration from our consigner that this pistol is one of three that his stepfather, Sgt. John E. Whitmore of the 1st Armored Division, brought back from Northern Italy when General Wolff surrendered, and the German forces under his command turned-in their weapons in March 1945. The declaration also documents Sgt. Whitmore’s involvement with the Italian campaign and the circumstances under which the weapons were acquired.
Our Assessment: The P38 occupies a significant place in history. It was the first locked breech pistol to have a double action/single action trigger. After the start of WWII, Walther could not keep up with the production required, and production was finally started in 1942 at Mauser and Spreewerke. This Spreewerke built WWII P38 “Bring Back” is in Excellent condition with all the appropriate markings and matching numbers. It also comes with a period holster and a spare magazine. We rarely see complete packages like this where everything is there, with documentation on the “Bring Back”. This is a great correctly marked package for the P38 collector.
Best rogue build neverwinter nights. Godd afternoon. 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.
Walther P38 Spreewerk
Welcome to the forum! Nice old P.38 you have there. I've done some research on the war-time P.38s, having a Spreewerke myself and in the same condition as yours, maybe a year older. I'm guessing yours is a very late 1944?Cyq P.38s are about at the bottom of the food chain for collectors.
There were 3 major makers during the war: Walther, Mauser and Spreewerke (Berlin). The top values run from the Walther, then the Mauser and lastly the Spreewerke. Ppsspp iso games emuparadise. From what I'm seeing, yours should run between $550 to $650. If you had a matching serial numbered mag it would add another $100 to $150. This is all according to my most recent info - I have been retired for a few years and am VERY rural so I don't often get to gun shows.I like mine, but the earlier Walthers and Mausers generally have much better finishes and fewer machine marks. I've seen some really nice Walthers and Mausers - some with near civilian quality finish. The vast majority of the Spreewerkes that I've seen are like yours and mine - rough finishes with many tool marks.
JFWIW, mine has been 'retired' in favor of a Beretta 92FS. Went through a spell of broken ejectors/ejector springs and pins. Have it repaired, but she doesn't get out much these days. Was a GREAT shooter, though. Tough as nails and really accurate.The Firearms Forum is on online community for all gun enthusiasts.
