Gun Collectors Dream Auction #75 Mixed Guns
Lot 594:
Up Next We Have a Restored Spanish Star Model 1914 Semi Auto Pistol Chambered in 7.65, It Comes With One Magazine, and Appears in Great Condition. It Also Comes in a Padded Softcase.
Before the beginning of World War I, in 1914, Star brought out its first pistol in a larger caliber: the 7.65mm Model 1914. The M1914 was very reminiscent of the Steyr-Mannlicher and, even more so, of the La Lira/Triumph pistol, though unlike these two it was blowback operated (rather than delayed blowback). The M1914 retained most of the features of Julian’s first pistol design, though it was larger in size, had a takedown lever in front of the trigger guard, and a U-shaped lanyard staked to the corner of the left grip. Antaris states that the M1914 had a high polish midnight blue finish which he compares to the early Colt and Webley & Scott automatic pistols. The pre-war version of the M1914 came with either a 110mm or a 130mm barrel, with a magazine that held eight rounds.
