They look like to have been run over by a tank or something

Nice Berettas!!!

Ingrid....they drilled holes in the barrel ! ....and I thought U.K. deactivication was bad ! ......I take it this is Belgian deac procedure.....well, at least the gun has been saved, it could of been worse, it could of gone to the smelters. It looks a nice piece . Sadly you will not pick up a PO8 (any year) for under £800 here in the U.K. and that will be a deac. Prost ! Steve.

Yup, it's a shame! The auction went to 500 euros. I made a deal with the seller and bought it for 400 euros. You will not find them cheaper than that over here.

I hope you will show me yours in the future, maybe selling some Pickelhaubes is worth it!

P.S.: Come on guys, this thread is going to slow. Where is Bill when you need him???

Spanish Civil War F. Ascaso copy of Astra 400



Enjoy this copy of the Astra Model 400..After the Astra plant (Unceta y Cia) in Guernica was bombed in April of 1937, and Franco's take over of this area.. The Republicians had a great need for Model 400 pistols to arm their troops. So two factories were set up in the Republician zone to produce Model 400 copies.. The scarce and rarest one is The F. Ascaso, produced by a Republician arsenel In Tarrasa Northwest of Barcelona in the province of Cataluna.. This copy was named after Francisco Ascaso an Anarchist who was linked to several Spanish political assassinations in the late 20s.. He was later deported from Spain in 1931, and had returned to Spain shortly before the start of the Spanish Civil War.,and died in 1931 in Barcelona, He was then Publicized as a Republician hero, and his name placed on the pistol....It is estimated that around 5000 of these super rare pistols were produced..Apparently no Holsters were produced for this pistol, as this one was found in a heavely modified Campo-Giro model 1913 holster...The calibre is 9m/m Largo. It is reputed that some of the pistols made their way to the USA in the Luggage of the International Brigades.... This pistol came into a small N.C. Gun Show many years ago... The other copy was a R.E.... BILL
