Hello all,
Nearly everything has already been published in this forum over the represented weapons.
Now it is an attempt to compare these two weapons with pictures.
One pays attention to the small differences in the course of the production line.
Pictured is one of 2500 Star B ordered by the Heereswaffenamt and shipped to the Kriegsmarine! on 29. May 1944 ( # 242003 - 244502 )in factory new condition and one of 5000 Star B delivered in September 1943 to the Bulgarian army.
Note the B prefix number 348 on the Bulgarian pistol ( barrel, slide, tang )and the differences of the hammers,the slide ends, the slide inscriptions and the mag bottoms.
Both pistols were manufactured in 1943.
The Bulgarian variation is well used and shows very rounded edges but it is one of the very few which hasn't been reworked or reblued.
I hope you enjoy it.
