Walther P38 Serial Numbers Cyq
I just recently bought a P.38 pistol that I was hoping to get some guidance on, as I am fairly new to the P.38 scene. It is marked 'cyq,' which I have easily determined to be of Spreewerk origin from some basic research on the internet. Also immediately obvious is that Spreewerk did not date their pistols, though I have seen some references on other forums that a basic chart exists that enables someone to roughly date their Spreewerk pistol. Does anyone know where I could find this reference? All of the components match save for the magazine and have the the cyq code and 88 waffenamt.
German P38 Pistol Serial Numbers
I would predict the finish to be at around 80-85%. I have seen pictures of similar P.38s from Spreewerk that are very rough aesthetically, but this pistol seems to be relatively attractive and without any major dings or cuts. However, most of the other Spreewerk P.38s I have seen sport a four-digit serial number, but mine has only three. If anyone can help me date this, it is 415 followed by the 't' suffix.
Walther P38 Markings
WWII coded Walther and Mauser P-38 pistols will also have a production year stamped on the slide. This is two digits. A Walther would be marked 'ac 43' as example. WWII P-38's were made in 10,000 gun 'blocks'. Each block was given a block letter code in addition to the serial number. Welcome to ALPS.

The trigger guard appears to have an asterisk. The grips are fairly dark brown with six interrupted lines around the grip screw. It is my understanding that this might signify the grips were manufactured by Walther.
