Exceptional Astra Model 900 Semi-Automatic Pistol with Matching Stock

This is an exceptional example of a scarce and desirable Astra Model 900 that is complete with a matching stock. These pistols was designed to capitalize on the popularity of the Mauser Broomhandle and are actually shaped to look and operate exactly like the 1896 Mauser Broomhandle. Access to the actual mechanism is very different from the Mauser pistols in that access is through a sliding plate on the left side of the frame. The side plate is marked ""ASTRA" AUTOMATIC PISTOL CAL 7.63, PATENTED JULY, 12, 1928 / Unceta y Compania GUERNICA <Spain>" with the serial number directly under this above the grip panel. The right side of the frame has the Eibar proof marks that consist of a knight's helmet over a small box with an "X" inside, "L L" and the double circled "P" proof for automatic pistols. This same last proof of a circled "P" is found on the right front edge of the barrel extension and again on the rear end of the barrel directly in front of the chamber area. It has the standard tangent rear sight graduated from 50-1000 meters with the fixed inverted "V" front sight. The back strap is cut for shoulder stock and it has the 12 groove grip panels, and lanyard loop on the butt. It is complete with the combination wooden holster and shoulder stock with the original numbered and matching attaching iron.

ConditionExcellent plus overall with 99.8% of the original blue finish, that retains clear and distinct proof and factory markings. The grips are also in excellent plus condition showing a nice matching color on both sides with no handling marks. The stock is in excellent plus condition with exceptional wood finish and some light figure with no handling marks. The attaching iron has the original matching serial number to the pistol and retains 90-95% of the original blue finish. The inside of the buttstock door is also numbered to match the pistol.
