Introduced in 1938, a number of CZ 38 pistols were appropriated by the Germans as sidearms under the designation "P.39(t)". While the majority of occupation 38s (approximately 44,000) were pre-invasion production diverted from stocks destined for Czech cavalry and aviators, this shows signs of being a much scarcer post-invasion production (approximately 1,000 made), with its late-war phosphate finish and lack of a serial number. The left side of the slide is marked with the standard CZ Prague address, and the left side of the frame has an "eagle/WaA76" Waffenamt proof. The barrel on this example has a rare "eagle/swastika" test proof as well as another faint Waffenamt proof. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, and a of checkered hard rubber grip with CZ logos. A lanyard loop is affixed to the butt. This pistols are described in depth on p. 62-66 of "Axis Pistols" by Jan Still.
