SOLD - Rare, Minty Astra 200 - Nazi Contract

3/1/18 - This is, arguably, the rarest of the Nazi procurement foreign pistols of WWII, with only 1500 contracted by the Germans. It is in stunning 98-99% original condition, all matching, with excellent bore and grips.  Only the tiniest amount of wear can be seen on the forward edges of the slide. Strong grip straps with nearly all blue present.  These scarce guns were not waffenamted (like the .32 cal Astra 300 pistols) and were imported through the German firm GECO and are so marked on the right rear frame. They also fall into a very narrow serial range, verified by the Astra factory. Among Nazi foreign procurement pistols, they are considered the rarest, followed by French Unique .25, Armand Gavage and the Astra 900 contract. Most collectors have never seen one and we have seen only one other in the last 20 years
