8/6/20 - Astra Firearms and Selected Competitors by Leonardo M. Antaris. Astra Firearms and Selected Competitors is an encyclopedic reference, truly the “final word” on Astra’s firearms. Ranging from the earliest Eibar-type pistols and Campo-Giros to the most modern guns, each of Astra’s models is examined in extraordinary detail. Previously unpublished information covers M300s delivered to the Carabineros, Spanish Navy and Air Force, and there is a far more comprehensive section on the M400s. Many will be drawn to the M900 series chart that references most original destinations! As concerns the WWII years, new tables detail the M200 and M300 Condor Legion guns, their procuring bases and, in some cases, the signatory officer. Pistols made after WWII are treated in the same methodical manner as Astra changed its production to meet commercial demand. Leaving no stone unturned, the book also covers Astra’s revolvers and shotguns.
