A friend of my fathers brought this pistol over to his house - apparently an elderly widow had this of her husband. He is asking if I would like to purchase it.
Frankly, I have never seen one before. It is a CZ-38 (apparently also called a P-39T by the Germans). Other than the finish, it is in very good condition according to my Dad. A pretty ugly gun with a tip-up barrel for field stripping. It is a DA only. That just about exhausts what I have learned about it other than it is in 9mm Kurz (.380).
The gentleman mentioned that he believed it was a officer's model becuase it has the safety. None of the images I have found on-line show a safety. However, I have read that manual safeties were added for export to Bulgaria. Here are some pictures. Does anyone have any knowledge about this? An estimate of value or collectibility? Many thanks.
