Astra Model 900 7.63x25mm SN: 26425
The semiauto 900 was chambered for 7.63x25mm Mauser (like the C96), and about 21,000 were made from 1928 into the 1930s, the Astra Model 900 has a slightly different lock work, but in overall appearance and operation very closely resembles the Mauser '96 Broomhandle Pistol, and was a popular item both in Europe and further abroad, most famously China. Blade front and 1000-yard tangent rear sights, with a large ring hammer, Spanish proofs on the right side of the barrel, chamber and frame, the three-line Astra nomenclature on the side plate and the Guernica address on the left grip frame. Fitted with 12-groove walnut grips. Slotted for shoulder stock, lanyard ring. The pistol has been professionally re restored. The dovetailed front sight has been replaced blade/white bead sight, re-blued and newer grip. Bore is excellent/bright. Action is smooth/tight, grips are excellent, and the re-blue is excellent with no visible wear. The Spanish proofs are a little shallow due to the re-finish. NRA Condition-Excellent as Restored, C&R Firearm.
