Modern Star pistols are some of the most well made, robust, and reliable weapons ever made. I lived in the Basque region of Spain for a year, with a Basque-Spanish girlfriend. We visited the Firearms museum in Eibar, which had several Star firearms. The company had a long and distinguished pedigree, and the pistols were made from some of the finest Basque steel - the same steel covered by Spanish sword makers for their weapons.

You obtained a phenomenal pistol at an incredible bargain.
