CZ38 a.k.a. P.39 (t)

[JuergenG]

A rather rare bird: CZ38 or P.39 (t) in German nomenclature. One of 1,713 given to Finland by Germany in 1940 has found her way to my house.

Nice; I always thought they looked a little weird...and that tilt up barrel feature. Is it 9mm short?

Nice looking CZ38 Jeurgen. I think I remember years ago you saying you were looking for one. Is this your first CZ38? Are they harder to come by in Germany than over here? How hard are the holster's converted from P38 holster to come by? For me the holster was harder to find than the gun. The replacement mag I got to complete my rig was actually and SA marked one.

Thanks! Yes, a CZ38 was on my bucket list for quite a while and this is my first and probably last one. As only a max. of 41,000 have been made they are a bit hard to find. Haven't looked for a holster yet.

I will keep an eye out for a holster for you.

Sounds like a plan, thank you!

I know some Finnish collectors who would be very envious. The [SA] stamped pistol is a rare commodity!

Thanks for sharing. Congrats.
