I know this has been beat to death, but what is the deal with this gun.....bear with me my brain is simple. The WaA251 is faint. Should this serial # have a WaA?
Someone with knowledge please explain to me in non-powdercoat what I have here. You won't hurt my feeling, you are a good bunch of folks and your opinions count to me!

Roadhustler63,
It's apparently not dead yet.
Keeps coming back.
The pistol in your posting is a fake.
Here's some info from my website.
Let me know what you think.

Pancho, great warning, do you mind if I top this off as a "sticky"?

Pancho, Ed, this data for the Bulgarian Star B Pistols corresponds to the gap in the delivery of German Star B's shown on Page 339 of Jan's "Axis Pistol" Book.

Serial Numbers 223776-225006 Delivered July 26, 1943 WaA251

Gap for Bulgarian Star B's, Fakes This data was not reported by Jan, but inserted by me for clarity.

Serial Numbers 244503-247002 Delivered May 29, 1944 WaAD20

Ed,
You are welcomed to use it as you would.
Pancho

Frank,
I'm not sure I understand your posting.
I think my info on the Bulgarians is from Antares's book.
Do you think my info. re. the Bulgarians is wrong?
Pancho

 

[Frank]

Pancho, NO, I was agreeing with you. The data I show from Jan's Book are in two lines. The center line showing the Bulgarian Shippment corresponds with the data in your table, thus the Bulgarian serial numbers are in the gap between the two shippments from Star to Germany!! Sorry for the confusion!

Ludwig, the last time Pancho logged into our BBS was 15 years ago. The other user was a guest at that time, and has not logged in under that name since 2004.
