Buster Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi, this is my latest pistol its a Sauer 38H and by the features it has dates it to 1942. It's got the eagle over N proof marks,but no waffen mark in front of the trigger guard so it's most likely a officers private purchase pistol. The pitol is in near mint condition, I got this last week & it was only deactivated last year so not been around the deact circuit. The Sauer 38H was produced in three basic models. Generally, the slide of the first model is inscribed "JP Sauer und Sohn" on the left. The second version has only "CAL 7.65", and the third version omits the safety and the cocking/decocking lever. Towards the end of the war, weapons produced were simplified for quicker, cheaper production. For the 38H, this meant simpler markings, rough finish, and the elimination of features like the slide-mounted safety. Much more rarely, some late production examples retained the safety but omitted the cocking/decocking lever. So-called "late-war" models were still fully functional though. Final examples, produced until April 1945 when the factory was overrun by the Allies, feature mismatched serial numbers and poor fit and finish 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
