*Astra Modelo 400 (1921) - 9mm Largo
The early 7.65 mm. Astra was identical to the Victoria of the same caliber. Just when the name Astra was introduced for this model is not known but a specimen bearing the Serial No. 925 and marked „Model 1911’ seems to indicate that the new name and numbering were adopted at about that time. Specimen No. 1727 is also marked 1911, No. 4169 is marked Mod. 1915 and Nos. 70,211 and 75,140 are marked Mod. 1916. The date 1911 and the absence of the word GUERNICA indicate manufacture in Eibar, as the word Guernica appears on pistols made after the factory was moved to that city. From the facts cited, it is concluded that the name Astra was actually used before 1914.
Quick view ASTRA 1921 (400) - C28745 9mm Largo; 75% blue, good bore, good grips, 6’ barrel, Astra supplied an estimated 6000 Model 400 pistols to the nazi military in the serial range 92,851-98,850. This pistol, SN 95172, falls in near. The Astra Model 600/43 started production in the 1940’s and was a Spanish made handgun for Nazi Germany during WW2. Known for their extreme durability.
Soon after World War I broke out, a shortage of pistols developed in France and several manufacturers in Spain, including Esperanza y Unceta, were given orders for pistols of 7.65 mm. caliber. Specimens marked 7.65 mm. 1915 MODEL AUTOMATIC PISTOL - ASTRA PATENT (Serial No. 4169) and two others marked 7.65 mm. 1916 MODEL AUTOMATIC PISTOL - ASTRA PATENT (Serial Nos. 70,211 and 75,140) have been measured and photographed. These are all of the same type and general appearance as the 1911 specimen but have different dimensions and clearly were not made on the same set of tools. For example, the 1911 Astra is 145 mm. long and 98 mm. high, whereas the 1915 version is 160 mm. long and 125 mm. high, with an increased magazine capacity of 8 rounds. The 1916 Model has about the same dimensions. All of these are in the same numbering series.Astra-Unceta Y Cia SA
The manufacturer states that these pistols were furnished not only to France but also to Italy (after the latter came into the war on the allied side) and that the total production of the wartime type was about 150,000 pieces. Manufacture of this model was discontinued at the close of the war as it was superseded by Model 400, which became the official weapon.Astra 400 Proof Marks
Model 100- This seems to have been a factory designation for the 7.65 mm. pistol that started out as the Victoria, but when this particular designation first came into use is not known. The manufacturer says that it applies to the pistols of the Victoria type made up to the year 1915 when the war type, with enlarged magazine capacity, was introduced. This wartime model appears to have been given the nomenclature „Mod. 100 Special’ at a later date, as it is so designated in factory literature of ca. 1925. No figures as to total production are extant, as all of the Eibar and many of the early Guernica records have been destroyed. Furthermore the 7.65 and 6.35 mm. pistols were in the same numbering series, and the ratio in which they were produced is not known.
The tabulation of calibers, serial numbers, and remarks in Table 20 may be of value to those interested in the relationships of the early models of pistols of 6.35 and 7.65 mm. caliber made by Esperanza y Unceta.

The Astra 600 was a Spanish semi-automatic pistol used during World War II by the Wehrmacht. Designed by Unceta y Cia, it was a shortened version of the Astra 400 manufactured to fire 9×19mm Parabellum, which was the standard pistol ammunition for Germany at the time. The Astra 600 was designated the Pistole Astra 600/43 when used by the German Military during World War II. Approximately 59,400 Astra 600s were manufactured before production ceased.History[edit]Astra Modelo 400 (1921) - 9mm Largo
In 1943 the German government requested Unceta y Cia redesign the Astra 400 to fire the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. In late 1943, fifty examples of the newly designed Astra 600 were sent to Germany and were approved for issue to German armed forces,[3] receiving the designation Pistole Astra 600/43.[4] Approximately 50,000 were ordered by Germany, with the first delivery of 2,950 pistols taking place on 16 May 1944. A second shipment of 5,000 pistols reached Germany on 23 June, and a final shipment of 2,500 pistols were shipped to Germany on 16 July 1944.[3] Supply to Germany stopped when German occupation of the border between Spain and France ceased and supply lines were cut.[5] The Astra 600s that could not be delivered to the German government during World War II were then stored by the Spanish government.[6] Small quantities of pistols were sold to Turkey, Portugal, Chile, and Costa Rica until 1951,[7] when the remaining Astra 600s were sold to West Germany. Those pistols were extensively used by West German police forces until the late 1960s when Interarms purchased the remaining pistols for export to the United States civilian market.[6]Design[edit]
Modeled off the Astra 400, the Astra 600 had a similar design and internal mechanism to its predecessor. The Model 600 had a hammerless design and fired with an unlocked breech, blowback mechanism. It had an unusually strong recoil spring that caused a stiff trigger pull.[6] The strong spring could make it difficult for individuals with weak hands to retract the slide making disassembly and cleaning difficult.[6] Around fifteen pistols were manufactured to fire .32 ACP.[7]Markings[edit]
The Astra 600s that were sold to the German military during World War II are commonly referred to as ’first contract’ Astra 600s. They can be identified by a Waffenamt stamping on the right rear grip. The colloquially known ’second contract’ pistols were the batch sold to West Germany and can be identified by having a serial number 31,350 and above.[7] Pistols sold to the Portuguese Navy were marked with the abbreviation ’MRP’ on the upper left part of the slide.[8]Users[edit]
