No, it is a Model 37. The caliber is probably 9mm Kurtz (.380 ACP) Here is a 37mm though:

You mean flare launcher.

There is a difference.

DANG!! THAT is WAY huge!

Well shoot now that ya mention it my 9mm is about the same size and yes the old round does look like a .380 round!

Still wonder the one I was asked to look at is from!?

It's Hungarian WW2 era.
They were made in .380ACP and was the standard issue service pistol for the Hungarian army during the late-30s through mid-40s.
It appears to be a non-Nazi contract pistol (those were marked P37 & had a thumb safety).

It's looks like it's in really good condition.

Estimated serial number ranges:
1938 00001-20000
1939 20001-60000
1940 60001-100000
1941 100001-150000
1942 150001-180000
1943 180001-210000
1944 210001-232800

It's Hungarian WW2 era.
They were made in .32ACP and .380ACP.
The .380ACP version was the standard issue service pistol for the Hungarian army during the late-30s through mid-40s.

It looks like a non-Nazi contract pistol.
Need better pictures to determine if it was.

It's looks like it's in really good condition.

Also it has a safety feature in which you have to squeeze the rear of the grip in order for it to fire!

That info is sooo cool! Thanks.

It looks like it is of the 1943 year. Thanks I think my friend will be very excited.

Do you have a rough idea how much a gun smith would charge to clean something like this up? It seems like the return spring for the slide is not working. Other than that AND the VERY HEAVY trigger pull..this is a nice little gun.
