I must begin by thanking Bob for "hooking me up" with this awesome Republican Astra 400 pistol. Given my interest in the Spanish Civil war I am just so excited about having the opportunity of adding this pistol to my growing Spanish collection.
Well, I thought I would share some pictures for those who may never have seen an RE marked Astra pistol "up close".
Here are two stamps, one on the trigger guard and the other on the frame, that I was particularly interested in learning more about.
The first is a star that appears to have three symbols (perhaps letters?) inside it and the other looks like a "6" in the crux of the letter "V" both of which are bounded by a shape like an eye or a football.
Anyone know what these marks represent?
Thanks for the education.
