First produced commercially in the mid 1930’s, this pistol was used during WWII as a substitute German standard pistol, primarily by the air forces. Quality deteriorated during the war. The “H” stands for hahn or hammer, indicating a self-cocking pistol. Similar to the Walther PP in takedown. This model was also made in 380 and 25 ACP, but these are comparatively rare. The 32 ACP was also made with an aluminum slide, weighing 19 oz., but this model is not often seen. A well designed and machined pistol with very advanced but simple double action features, including a thumb lever which permits raising and lowering the hammer without snapping the trigger. Production stopped at the end of WWII and the pistol was not revived commercially.
