Star Pistol Serial Numbers

.38 ACP/9 mm Largo; Certain 'Super' pistols; Military models 1922, 1931 & 1940. To find your model number, how to find the date of manufacture, and other stuff. Almost all 'classic' era Star pistols, basically 1911-looking guns, were made.

I had one in my hand yesterday (a Star, not a nazi) and was impressed with the fit and finish. Are there any crusty crufflers of fine spanish pistols out there that know the lowdown on what may be my next C&R purchase? 'Leave the gun.take the cannoli.'

The so called Star B pistols with the Nazi markings are mostly fakes.

99% of them you see available right now are from a Bulgarian delivery contract, which was delivered to the Ministry of War in Sophia, Bulgaria around the same time as the Nazi delivery contract. These Bulgarians were never Nazi marked. The ones showing up on the market now were stamped with the waffenamts a year or two ago by an enterprising European Dealer who knew he could make more money on the American market with them if they had the Nazi markings. The Bulgarian contract pistols have been selling for about $140 to $160. With the fake markings, they have been bringing $199 from Coles, and now SOG has them back in their listings at $279 or some stupidly high figure. I have seen folks listing them on the auction sites for upwards of $500. CHECK IT OUT THOROUGHLY!

REQUEST THE SERIAL NUMBER AND CHECK BACK WITH ME HERE. I have listings of the true Nazi contract and the Bulgarian serial numbers.

It's a pity since these pistols were magnificent. Are the $140-160 ones refinished as well?

And who has them? I've never been a fan of the 9mm or of Spanish pistols (forgive me), but this gun got my attention. Actually, the fraudulent ones should me marked down below $140 that the unmarked pistols bring since they are 'damaged'.

I'm kind of pissed that the guy didn't tell me about all this, and he must have known, but he said he had ALOT of them, so I suppose he wanted to move them. I'm glad I asked before buying, I would be REALLY upset to find all this out after the sale. So thanks for the heads up.

BTW, he wants $225 each. Cranky collector of cool Austrian-Hungarian carbines, Steyr rules. 'Leave the gun.take the cannoli.'

SOG has the unmarked Star B pistols, or at least used to have them. Crusty Cruffler of Fine Spanish Pistols - Eibar Rules!

I'm concerned after what I've heard that the Waffenampts might have been faked. Here's what I got: 1) s/n 229944 with plastic grips dated N with ~ over it (1943?) 2) s/n 232508 with wood grips dated same as above 3) s/n 238850 with wood grips dated same as above Guns # 2 and # 3 have had the slides re-numbered. There is the original last four digits of the s/n hatched out and have been re-numbered in smaller numbers with the last three digits of the s/n stamped on the frame. Gun # 1 appears to have an unaltered slide.
