Small Arms And Sidearms

The Astra Model 900 is a Spanish semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Astra-Unceta y Cia SA as one of several Spanish copies of the German Mauser C96, sharing the same caliber, magazine capacity and holster type as the original German handgun. It was produced from 1927 to 1945, with a final small batch assembled from spare parts in 1951, and the design was later extended into select-fire machine pistol variants including the Model 902 and Model 904. In total some 35,076 units were produced across all versions.
