Description
The Astra 600/43 is a historically significant 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol produced in Spain during World War II. Originally manufactured under German contract, the Astra 600 was designed specifically to chamber the standard German 9×19mm cartridge, setting it apart from earlier Astra service pistols.
This example shows typical service wear consistent with age and military handling, adding to its authenticity and collector appeal. The pistol features the distinctive extended barrel and straight-blowback design, giving it a unique profile and solid shooting characteristics for a wartime sidearm.
Well-known among military surplus collectors, the Astra 600 represents a fascinating intersection of wartime production, German procurement, and post-war surplus history—making it an excellent addition to any WWII-era handgun collection.
