Star Model Super B 9mm Semi Auto Pistol

This is the mid 1940's variant of the Classic Star Model B and is marked " Modelo Super " on the right hand side of the slide. This model was made from 1946 to the end of classic-model production in 1983.. The major change in the "Super Model " over the standard model B is the replacement of the swinging link with a Sig 210 (or modern Star) style closed cam path integral to the barrel. Related to this, a full-length guide rod with captive spring, and a quick take down lever were added as well. All of these models have a magazine safety, but one slightly different from the later S variants, and the extractor is modified to double as a loaded-chamber indicator.

Additionally, the sights are improved in shape to make them easier to see, and minor changes were made to the trigger system.

Condition on these is actually quite nice with most coming in at a very strong very good by surplus standards. Expect some holster / carry wear and minor scratches etc. and of course, as with any surplus some are better than others. Hand Select will get best of 10 cosmetically for external finish.

I am not sure of the production year on this batch but they appear to be very well maintained earlier production guns. What a find, What a piece of history. It makes me want to take a bunch of these and go down to the Philippines and make a B grade movie.
