Hi fellows,
I don´t know if this is the right forum to show this one but this time I really need some help here. A couple of month ago I trade some militaria items (a German M43 Police Cap and another German NCO peaked cap from a Pionier unit) for this pistol – which I actually know almost nothing. Shame on me. But now I finally take some pictures to post here.
When I got this one I thought that it was a Astra Model 901 but a closer inspection shows that it isn´t. But it´s Spanish for sure (typical Eibar proofs), chambered to 7,63mm Mauser and has a fire selector. The only name that I could find was “ROYAL – Patent Nº 105614”. According the letter “D” stamped just above the right grip it was made in 1931. But that´s all I managed to discover!
Although the gun it´s not in perfect shape, showing extensive use (Spanish Civil War???), it is so difficult to find any gun with fire selector that I decided to go ahead and make the trade. So I decided to post its pictures here to see if someone could put some light over it.
So, folks, I´m counting on you to help me here!
Thanks in advance.
Douglas.
