Description:
Star, Bonifacio Echeverria S.A. of Eibar, Spain quickly caught the attention of Europe, the Middle East, and even the United States with their excellent quality pistols that went into production in 1934. Israel’s Defense Forces, among many others, adopted as many Stars as they could get when the move for Independence culminated in the 1948 War. Here is a specimen of Star’s Model B Super, introduced in 1946 and in production until 1983. This pistol served with the Mishteret Y’Israel, the Israeli civilian Police in Jerusalem District. From its T 1 date code, it was manufactured in 1975. Its only alien stamping is from its Washington Importer on the forward left side of the frame. Barrel and slide are 5 1/8 inch Colt Government length, blue steel with Tokarev type bushing setup. Sights are stake-on half moon low profile front and matching dovetailed blue steel rear combat type. Extractor body is visible externally. Safety setup is main safety only for cocked-and-locked carry, with no grip safety. The Star safety, however, will engage with the hammer in resting and half cocked position. It is Series 70 style, no firing pin block, but it may or may not have a magazine safety. Frame’s mainspring housing area is integral to the frame, not removable, with checkered serrations. The innovation to the Super B is its rapid disassembly lever on its right side, so designed to mate with the cammed barrel. This B Super has a loaded chamber indicator on the top rear of the barrel’s chamber hood area. Magazine is blue steel factory Star. Capacity is 9 rounds, 8 + 1, and we were in pretty good stock on magazines at press time on this ad. Caliber is 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9x19, call it what you will, THE 9mm. Weight empty is 37.2 ounces, and weight and dimensions are very similar to the Colt 1911 Government Pistols. Grip panels are checkered Brown composite factory issue with minimal flattening to the checkering crowns of the right panel. On this specimen, Surface detractions are moderate, principally finish loss to the slide’s right side and scouring on the right side of the frame. Grip frame front and back straps exhibit less conspicuous wear. We rate this B Super as only Good, 65 percent vicinity by our estimate; photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore shows very faint etchy spots, but chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean, and the trigger pull is a tight 8 pound vicinity, but with negligible felt creep. We’re offering this attractive, eminently serviceable and collectable Spanish-Israeli Star Spain 9mm Model B Super Pistol for only $ 289.00. Not transferable to civilian residents of California or Massachusetts. Any ammunition or personnel showing in our photos are Not included.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges.
