Description
10/9/24 – This is a Spanish Astra 300 made for the Nazis in 1943. All matching numbers. There were two caliber guns for the Nazi Astra 300s. 9mm kurz and 7.65mm. Of these, 63,000 were 9mm and 22,390 were 7.65mm making this gun the rarer of the two. The 7.65mm guns did not have Waffenamts like the 9mms did. The Nazi contract 7.65mm guns were between SNs 540901-615822. This pistol falls between that range and was delivered to the Nazis on 2/24/41 according to Jan Stills ÄúAxis PistolsÄù. It has been said the Luftwaffe preferred the Astra 300 due to their small size as the cockpits in fighter planes were very tight. The gun has retained essentially all of its finish with very little sign of wear or use. Fitted with minty wood grips and comes with a proper magazine. Excellent, shiny bore.
