Astra Model 900 (Spanish) Nazi Contract, Cal. 7.63 Mauser

Description:
In 1927, Astra developed a pistol similar in general appearance and function to the Mauser 1896; however, it was simplified and a improved version made of high quality materials and of excellent quality fit and finish.  It was termed the Model 900, and from 1928 to 1944, about 20,900 were manufactured.  In March 1943, 1,050 Astra 900's were purchased by the German Army headquarters at Hendeye, France.  These were not Army acceptance stamped, and bear full Spanish commercial proofs and are identified by serial number.   The factory reported serial numbers are 29555 to 29600, 29649 to 29650, 29655 to 29660, 29667 to 29675 and 32788 to 33774.   This Model 900, serial number 33771, is in the later serial range and is in excellent original condition, retaining 95+% of its original blue finish, with only very minor thinning on the front and back straps of the grip and a few high spots on the frame and at the muzzle.  The bore looks like new and the action is tight and functions perfectly.  The 12-groove walnut grips (which number to this pistol) are in excellent condition, with only a few minor handling marks.  You would be hard pressed to find a better one, obviously this Model 900 has been fired and handled very little.                                                      PRICE:     $3000.00            We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974.                    PH. 859-276-1419         We Buy, Sell and Trade Firearms & Knives.    Have a Individual Firearm,  Firearms Collection, or Firearms Estate to sell, let us know, we can buy or consignment sell it for you.                   NOTE:  No additional fee for a Credit Card payment.
