This video delves into the rare, factory-engraved Sauer 38H pistols from WWII. It highlights two specific examples: one likely a presentation piece intended for a German general, evidenced by gold wash and initials 'GVZ', and another unissued example captured at the factory. The discussion also touches on the possibility of Walther engravers working on Sauer firearms during the war and the story of a US pilot who brought one home.

This video explores two exceptionally rare, factory-engraved Sauer 38H pistols from 1944 and 1945. One, likely a presentation piece never issued, features ornate ivory grips and detailed oak leaf and acorn engraving, possibly done by a Walther engraver. The other, issued to a German general, shows significant wear on its gold wash finish, indicating use. The pistols were captured by American GIs at the end of WWII.
