The third manufacturer of P38 pistols was the Spreewerk factory. Spreewerk production started in 1942 and the secret code was cyq . Spreewerk also used serial numbers with suffix letters and applied to same serial numbering system as Mauser. In february 1945 a pistol with serial number 10000z was produced and a new way of counting had to be introduced because all the letters from the alphabet were finished. Spreewerk decided to start recounting but instead of putting a suffix letter they now decided to use a prefix letter. In total 282.080 pistols were produced by the Spreewerk factory. The inspection stamp 88 ( E/88 ) was used by the Spreewerk factory.
As with all surplus firearms they should be checked by a professional gunsmith.
