My RFD friend told me when we were on a road trip once, he helped York Guns move from their old shop and his car was rammed full of pistols and revolvers. He was driving along a country road when a dog ran out in front of him. Unfortunately, he hit it and it caused some damage to his car. The police were called and I think someone from York Guns had to come in another vehicle so all the handguns could be transferred to that car before the RFd's was taken away by a recovery firm!!

I had a nice Spanish Star B in 9mm at one time.

Me too, my first semi-auto pistol.
I seem to remember it cost £23 new in 1971, soon followed by a S&W Mod 39.

Hello
Am I wrong was the Spanish semi auto called Astra ?

Both Star and Astra were Spanish made pistols - The Star Mod B was a Colt 1911 lookalike only smaller.
