![]() There are some avenues of speculation, but I think I will avoid those for now and simply say that there have been many theories on the cyq/cvq issue, and AFAIK there has never been any definite resolution. ![]() Either the code was changed or the error was allowed to continue for a long time, something I doubt the HWaA would have sanctioned even in the late war emergency. The Walther P38 (originally written Walther P.38) is a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol that was developed by Carl Walther GmbH as the service pistol of the Wehrmacht at the beginning of World War II.It was intended to replace the costly Luger P08, the production of which was scheduled to end in 1942.īut that 'broken die' seems to have been retained for some time, far beyond the life of a single stamp. Spreewerke P38 proof of the 'Broken Die Theory' Discussion in 'General Military' started by TheJoker, Oct 30, 2010. There has been a lot of speculation about the Spreewerke cyq code becoming cvq due to a broken die (actually a stamp, not a die). Several researchers indicate that Spreewerke parts were shipped to, and pistols assembled in, (what was) Czechoslovakia, but I have never heard of assembly in Munich, which had no significant arms factories. I don't claim to know all about the Spreewerke production (who does?) but the statement that Spreewerke parts were assembled in Munich and that the 'cvq' code indicates that is a new one on me. So, my question is: Is this one of the guns assembled in Munich from parts, thus explaining why the barrel has been replaced? Or, is it simply a mis-matched Spreewerke gun, and therefore of lesser collector value than standard versions? Thanks, Howard. The gun is in excellent condition, although it does show the machining marks, common to Spreewerke. The original 'c' suffix on the barrel is not X'ed out. These numbers are also about twice the size of the original stamped numbers. The gun I have is interesting in that it is all matching numbers, except for the barrel, where the original barrel serial number (which had suffix 'c') has been 'X'ed' out and the frame and slide numer hand stamped '39' to the left of the X'ed out number and '75' stamped to the right. ![]() Did you ever found yourself lost in tons of papers, stickers, and small text files?

He also gives this variant a higher dollar value than the standard Walther and Mauser types.Īllmynotes organizer deluxe edition keygen generator.
