Wondering if anyone knows why it is hard to find a no letter suffix cyq P.38 pistol for sale? While I have always had at least one or two P.38 pistols nearly all my life, they were always as shooters. WW2, post war P.38s and P1 pistols, as well as P4, P5s even a P5 Compact as my daily carry, only recently in the past few years have I started to collect WW2 P.38 pistols. From what I have learned here, it is better to narrow a collection to a certain type or era. Decided to go with early regular production P.38s, no letter suffix. Passing on quite a few letter pistols in search of nice no suffix ones. So far have a byf 42, ac 41 & 42, byf 44 Police L, all no letter suffix. However my cyq is 6021a, the lowest clean early cyq I was able to find. For some reason seems to be a lot of late & very late Spreewerk available, but it was hard to find one lower than a letter "i". Maybe all early ones went east, and the vet bring backs from France were later ones? How ever the nice no letter cyq has evaded me. Are the early better condition ones being kept because they are fewer? Must admit even my early extractor, unreinforced trigger area frame cyq has a quite a bit fewer machine marks then most photos I have observed. Just wondering where are they?
