In 98%++ mint crisp exceptional condition, we have a top example of a November 11, 1941 delivered Astra Model 300 Pistol in 9m/m Kurtz/ .380 auto. This very early Nazi contract pistol  is from the 2nd delivery;  these pistols were not waffenamted, feature the early grips and barrel markings as well.   The pistol is all matching and of course, the bore is mint.  The grips are very sharp and attractive.
The Astra pistols are extremely well made and finished, and this model was issued almost exclusively to the Luftwaffe, where the small size made them useful for aircrew.  One of the most popular foreign contract Nazi pistols for collecting, they are extremely popular, and many folks try to get one of each model the 400, 600 and 300 as they really display well due to the size difference.  This pistol very much gives you much of the same vibe and allure of a Baby Nambu and they are among the most popular of the foreign contract Nazi issued pistols. any Astra 300 Nazi contract first variation pistols are extremely rare, especially in this condition!Â
Scotty’s Collector Insight…These early Nazi issued Astra 300’s have very distinct looking grips and markings which make the very desirable to knowledgeable collectors.  These early examples are hard to find, especially in this choice condition, a hard gun to find! Â
