This WWII German issued Spanish Star Model B is a 9mm pistol made in 1944 with a 5-inch round barrel. Serial number 255572 places it in the fourth variation, with the later slide logo. The listing notes that it was part of the 19th shipment to Germany. About 85 percent of the bluing remains, with light scratches, and the bore shows frosting and light pitting in the grooves while the rifling stays strong.

This is a period example for collectors who focus on German handguns of the war years. The later period box and extra magazine make a more complete set, and the listing notes that the action functions correctly. Eagle and WAad20 Waffenamt marks on the beavertail give the pistol its wartime identity, and the sharp edges and bright bore add to the pistol's presentation.
