Description
9/10/26 - This is an excellent example of a Spanish Astra 300 made for the Nazi military in 1944. All matching numbers. These guns were chambered in two calibers, 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. It has been said the Luftwaffe preferred the Astra 300 due to their small size as the cockpits in fighter planes were very tight. This particular gun was delivered on February 24, 1944 in a shipment of 10,000 guns. It has retained about 95% of its finish with general high edge wear, muzzle wear, and some minor wear at the base of the front strap. A series of tiny dings at the back left of the slide. Fitted with minty wood grips - one small bruise on the right side. The bore has great rifling and is mostly shiny, but there is minor frosting in the grooves.
