The astra model 600 was produced to serial number 14,998. only 10,500 were shipped to Hitler before the Allied blockade of spain in 1944. the remaining 4500 or so guns were shipped to west germany in 1951 and were issued to the West german police department. I have one that fits this cerial number range and they are worth about 1200 dollars with out the lufinwafa mark if it has the mark on the right side of the gun then it is worth about doubble that price.

I have a model 600/43 --s/n 30836. on the left side behind the grip it has a shield with an ( X ) on it and two upper case ( P )s one with smon form of a circle around it. what do these marking mean and what year was it made. Thanks

If one of the P's has a star over it that is the date code for 1945. Regards, Aghauler
