Astra 300/400/600
Astra 300
The Astra 300 pistol was introduced in 1923 and was produced by the Spanish firm Astra-Unceta. The Astra 300 is a scaled-down version of the Astra 400 and thus the two are almost identical, apart from the size of course. The Astra 300 was even more popular than its larger cousin because of its compact size and was produced in both 9×17mm Short and 7.65×17mm SR Browning. The Astra 300 was also exported to Nazi Germany after the Spanish Civil War and issued to the Luftwaffe.

Astra 600
The Astra 600 is a 9mm Parabellum version of the Astra 400 intended for export. It was created on request of Nazi Germany and designated in the Wehrmacht as Pistole Astra 600/43. It can be distinguished by its slightly smaller size and by the distinctive heel-mounted magazine release of the Astra 400 being replaced with a lanyard ring. Approximately 10,000 were delivered to the German military in the Spring of 1944. With the invasion of France by the Allies the remainder of the contract was not delivered, Beginning in 1950 The remaining 40,000 pistols (having already been paid for) were delivered to West Germany for use by the police and military. Replaced by the Walther P1 and the Walther PP and PPK pistols in the early Sixties the pistols were sold off as surplus in the United States.
