ASTRA 900 German Contract

[JMVER1964]

Here is a ASTRA 900 "German Contract" with matching number stock/holster. It was originally in a collection in Southern France.
I have heard it was used by some Luftwaffe units. Does somebody have more information?
Thanks in advance.

Ohhh, I really love these broomhandle pistols. Too bad you need a license these days to actually own one here in Belgium.

Very nice! 1,050 were purchased by the Army. Yours I believe falls into that serial number range.

Outstanding rig with matching stock.
One of the rarest handguns among the ones used by Wehrmacht.
