Offered is a beautiful Broomhandle semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 7.63mm cartridge. It is fully factory chisel-engraved and gold plated, retaining virtually all of the finish. The engraving is full coverage and deeply chiseled. It has been gold plated with blued small parts. The varnished walnut grips are near mint. Engraving is exquisite. The pistol was made by Astra of Spain using the Broomhandle patent. It is referred to as the Model 900 and was produced beginning in 1928. Mint bore and perfect action. A similar plated and engraved Astra appears on the American Rifleman magazine (copy of the cover to be included). Comes in a contemporary case. Obviously an important presentation for sales or dignitary.
