They have, over the years, imported other things as they come up, but usually do not advertise under their own name in any way. Magnum Research has always been an importer, as their primary product line is actually made in Israel. Lately, a few others have started importing used surplus guns, most notably Century Arms these guns will carry a stamp reading "C.I.A. importers of new, commercial sale Stars were the Garcia Corp. Location can be as little as city and state, or even odd abbreviations American Arms has always just stamped "NKC" to mean "North Kansas City, Missouri." US importers include Interarms and CAI (I will add others as I recall them). Import stamps are usually not going to match, many will even be non-straight or will not have been finished over.
I am sure other countries have similar regulations. Weapons made outside the US must be imported, and stamped with the importer company name and location. I get asked a lot about marks that end up being import marks.

Once you find the model, you can look up which series it is in and go to the relevant page on the table here.

Sometimes, these are not used, so the model number for the Firestar Plus has no K suffix, to designate that it is alloy framed. These are used on the 28/30/31 series, and are always used. Basically M (Military) means steel, and usually the longer of the two, and P (Police) means alloy, and shorter. Some of the modern pistols also use variant designators. Not obvious what they all mean, but they definitely mean something. Similarly, the M105 was an alloy predecessor to the M205 plastic framed Ultrastar. The Firestar Plus is the M243, where adding 200 to the M43 must mean "super version" or something to the Star engineering department. Some are clearly also just chosen for marketing needs, like the. I have no idea what happened to the first 27 or to many of the numbers in between. The Megastar, for example, is the Model 50, but is invariably sold as the "Model Megastar."Īll the modern pistols have model numbers instead of letters, starting with 28. Some pistols will have no model number listed. "Firestar Plus") are on the slide and any listed model numbers are on the right side of the frame above the grip panels. Newer pistols have a model name or number, sometimes with a type suffix, clearly on the sides of the gun. Identification of this weapons continues to be problematic.

The German-issued Star Pistols were only made from 1942-44, should have the last three digits of the serial on all major components, and may have German Army and/or Nazi proofmarks.
Up thru the 50s at least, a number of Stars in 9 mm had the chamber hoods stamped P'08 or something similar. Patronen '08 is a way of saying "the cartridges that fit in the model 1908 pistol." The Pistol '08 is the Luger, and more recently the cartridge that fits it is called the 9 mm Luger, or Parabellum. Some are not at all clear, but the ones I know are listed here.Īnother confusion comes up sometimes in caliber markings being confused with weapon names. Suffix codes are changes to the base gun. Models A and B, for example, are confusingly similar, but are (apparently) differentiated by caliber. The chart to the right delineates the differences between some of the more confusingly similar pistols, and what I know of some of the suffix codes. Check the model A and B pages for the closest match and read the descriptions. Some will simply need to be identified by looking at photos. Some will clearly be these, as they will carry appropriate crests, or military acceptance stamps. These are all the year coded, Spanish government issue pistols, like the Model 1922 and Model 1940. This used to be rare, but is increasingly common as old stocks are cleared out. Some older pistols will have no model number on the butt. Use caliber and other details of the gun to determine your model if this is the case. I know of the Super designation appearing alone on model A and B pistols, but it can be on others as well. These are the Super (linkless, quick-takedown lever) versions of a number of models. Just to add more trouble, some pistols will simply be marked " Super," with no letter codes.
