Up Next We Have an ASTRA Model 600/43 Semi Automatic Pistol Chambered in 9MM Para, It Comes With One Factory Magazine and in Overall Excellent Pre-owned Condition, Original Factory Wood Grips, Serial # 40710, Astra designed their Model 600 in 1943. Between the 16th of May & 16th of July, 1944, 10,540 Astra 600 pistols were delivered to the German military across the Spanish/French border. Another 28,000 had been purchased but the allied advance in France prevented their delivery. Only the first 10,540 have German acceptance stamps. This particular example is a post-war West German police issue. Only up to serial number 10,500 made it into the Nazi hands, the rest of the Astra 600 contract sat in a Spanish arsenal until the early 1950s when they were sold to the West German police
