There has always been a controversy did they switch codes or did the stamping die break causing the "Y" to look like a "V". Sometime in January of 1945, Speewerk switched from CYQ to CVQ as a manufacturer. So when the owner of my local gun shop said he had a P38 he wanted me to look at AND it turned out to be a Spreewerk CVQ. In my research I learned about Spreewerk and the "CYQ/CVQ broken die controversy". An Enfield Number 2 Revolver made by a Scotish auto manufacturer, IBM M1 Carbine, etc. My collection tends to be intentionally eclectic. A few months ago, I was watching P38's on Gunbroker and doing the usual research that I do prior to buying a surplus weapon.
