As far as finding Star pistols goes I look in pawn shops, gun stores, and gun shows. The last two Stars I found were a model 1914 (gun show find) used by the French in WW1 and a model 1921 (pawn shop find) used by the Spanish Gaurdia Civil. I also bought a Star BKM (gun show find) the alloy frame version of the BM. It looked new and had the box, papers, and accessories with it.
I don't care for the internet auction format for selling guns so I don't use it. Considering all the greedy and even some con artist salesmen I've run into at gun shows and gun stores, I want to see what I'm getting before I agree to buy it. Also, If they want to sell it to me they can negotiate a price instead of making me get into a bidding war and if I buy it I leave with it when I pay for it. No give me your money and I'll send it to you when I can or surprise its not what you were expecting.
If you are going to carry your BM I would check to see if you have an inertia firing pin. They are safer to carry if you drop your gun. The extractor has also been known to cause problems on the BM. If I were going to carry anything made by Star I would choose one of their more modern guns like the 30PK, 31PK, or Ultrastar and maybe a Firestar. However, If you want to prove what a man you are to the ladys, strap on a Megastar in a Thunderwear holster.
