Gun (A) is a Spanish "Destroyer" carbine in 9mm Bergmann. These were used by Spanish police and prison services, including the Guardia Civil from the mid-1930s until the late 1960s, replacing the El Tigre Rifle. Retains 90% original finish overall. Import marked on the bottom of the barrel. One original magazine. Bore is fine with strong rifling. Good mechanical function. Stock is fine with some light handling marks. Gun (B) is a Steyr M95/34 straight pull carbine. Retains 95% of an arsenal applied finish. 37 dated military proof above the chamber. Import marked on the bottom of the barrel. The bolt number is not matching. Stock is not numbered. The bottom of the stock is cut for a rear sling swivel, but does not appear to have ever had one installed, no screw holes. Good mechanical function. Bore is dirty with strong rifling. The last digit of the serial number on the receiver appears to have been restamped, most likely during arsenal refurbishment.
