Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Sauer 38H, or often just H, was a small semi-automatic pistol made in the German Reich from 1938 until just after the end of World War II by J. P. Sauer & Sohn, then based in Suhl, Germany. The "H" in the model number is short for "Hahn," referring to the internal hammer of the firing mechanism.
The Sauer 38H was produced in three basic models. Generally, the slide of the first model says "JP Sauer und Sohn" on the left. The second version says only "CAL 7.65", and the third version omits the safety and the cocking/decocking lever. Towards the war's end, weapons produced were simplified for quicker, cheaper production. For the 38H, this meant simpler markings, a rough finish, and the elimination of features like slide-mounted safety. Much more rarely, some late production examples retained the safety but omitted the cocking/decocking lever. So-called "late-war" models were still fully functional, though final examples produced until April 1945 when the factory was overrun by the Allies, feature mismatched serial numbers and poor fit and finish.
