Star Pistol Serial Numbers

Mar 11, 2018 - Just received my STAR Model B Super that I ordered from AIM Surplus. Paid the $10 extra for 'Best of 5' - for a total of $265 shipped I think I did.

This Model B pistol was manufactured by STAR Echeverria in the city of Eibar, Spain in 1946 and was sent to the West German police after WWII. It is a single action semi-automatic pistol that is of the recoil operated, locked breech design. It is chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. This Model B is constructed of steel and has a blued finish. The Patridge type sights includes a blade front sight and a square notch rear sight that is drift adjustable for windage only. The pistol has a barrel length of 4.8 inches and weighs in at around 38 ounces. The Model B has a slide hold open feature to inform the operator that the last round has been fired and to facilitate reloading when a fresh magazine has been installed.

On the left side of the receiver is a push button magazine release located at the rear base of the trigger guard. It is fed by a single column detachable box magazine with an 8 round capacity.

The diamond pattern checkered grip panels are made of wood. The Star Model B was inspired by the Colt pistol design and although it is some what similar in appearance to the model 1911A1, the parts are not interchangeable. The pistol pictured on this page is the second version of the Model B which STAR began producing in 1933.

This updated version of the Model B added several, mostly external, features to make the pistol look and handle more like the Colt 1911A1. Mod na skajrim na magiyu iz hvost fei youtube. Some of these changes included, adding an arched backstrap to the frame and a larger safety. The arched backstrap allowed the pistol to fit the shooters hand more comfortably as well as aided in the operation of the pistol. The height and ruggedness of the sights was increased to aid in visibility which allowed the user to obtain a greater accuracy and a quicker sight picture. Some of the more notable small changes included a shortening of the barrel bushing and the elimination of a separate safety guide bar. These changes proved so successful that large numbers of these pistols were produced and have been used by many nations over the years.

This included the Nazi's during WWII and the pistol later served with the West German police after the war. The South African Army purchased the Model B in large numbers and it served with them until the late 1980's. Numerous other countries bought these pistols as substitutes for their armed forces. By the time the Echeverria firm ceased production in 1975, the Star Model B had become the favorite of many knowledgeable pistol shooters. This pistol is fast handling as well as stunningly accurate and it remains an excellent choice for self defense to this very day. The pictures of the Star Model B above were taken shortly after the pistol was removed from its shipping container and inspected to be sure it contained no live rounds. The UPS truck was probably still in the neighborhood when these photographs were snapped.

In the above pictures, the paper tags from the distributor are still attached to the firearm. The white tag has printed on it the model of the pistol and the serial number. The large orange tag has printed on it the usual warnings about the safe handling of firearms to include keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction, do not load until ready to fire and so on. Oh, the paper towel underneath the pistol is in place because the shipping box was opened on the kitchen table and these old firearms usually come packed with a ton of on them, some thing that the wife is no longer fond of having on the dinner table.

The photograph on the left was taken to show that some of these curio and relic firearms will need a little tender loving care. If the reader was to examine the picture closely, they will notice the awkward position of the rear sight. It has come loose from the top of the slide and will need to be drifted and set back into place for proper accuracy.

The picture on the right is of the markings that are found on the right side of this firearm. The barrel has been stamped with 'Cal.08' and with the flaming bomb proof that consists of the letter 'P' inside of a round bomb. Please see the text in the set of pictures below for a full description of the flaming bomb proof mark. We know that this pistol has been chambered to fire the 9mm Parabellum round, so why has the barrel been marked with 'Cal. The answer to that question lies in Germany's adoption of the pistol in 1908. All Star Model B pistols that were made for the Germans will have the '08' caliber designation stamped on them. While difficult to see in the right photograph, the right side of the receiver has been marked with a stamp that no collector wants to see on a historic firearm that is in their collection.
