Seller's Description: Spanish-made Star .22 semi-automatic pistol. Because it has a 4-inch barrel, a slide stop and an adjustable rear sight I believe this is the Star Model FR, manufactured between 1967 and 1972 by Echeverria Star-Bonifacio SA (there is no obvious marking that I can find to tell you what the model is). It has a ten-shot magazine, black plastic grips, and shiny nickel or chrome plating. The plating has a few spots, light scuffs and scratches, and so I have classified the pistol as 'good', but really, underneath the metal looks to be in very good shape. I have fired this one a half-dozen times and it has always worked reliably. A nice, handy little .22 with the pleasant heft of an all-steel pistol.

Q:  The model is listed on the bottom of the grips by the mag well. You need to turn the gun upside down and look at the mag well.		08/29/2009
A:  Many thanks for the tip. It did not occur to me to look closely at the bottom of the grip. It is indeed a Model FR.		08/29/2009

Q:  hi. KJCVT My question is : this Star model FR, the grips it's n't original for this pistol, maybe for other Star model? do you can see the grips at other auction a Auction arms. Thanks Kingbear		08/30/2009
A:  Hi, Kingbear: I checked the auction you referenced (Item# 9300103) and note that the grips are different and look like they are a better fit for the Model FR than the ones on the FR pistol I am selling. All I can tell you is that the grips on mine came with the gun (it was a gift I received 20 years ago). On the plus side, the FR I am offering is selling for a lot less.		08/31/2009

Q:  You did not mention the unusual slide safety! The rear roll safety! Its quite unusual and factory! Mine has one as well.Only very few Stars have it!!!		08/31/2009
A:  Hi, Salladin, and thanks for pointing out the unusual rolling safety in the back of the slide that blocks the hammer from striking the firing pin. Sort of a back-up safety for the pistol (there's already slide-lock safety on the frame, under the hammer). I did not realize that it was an unusual feature on FR pistols. My lack of background research on Star pistols is kind of showing through on this auction, eh?		08/31/2009

Q:  I,d say its quite rare in 50 years of collecting I,ve only seen 3.		08/31/2009
A:  Again, thanks for letting me (and interested bidders) know about this!		09/01/2009
