This video analyzes the Astra 700 Special, a pistol designed as a visual imitation of the FN Model 1910. The description details how Astra adapted their Model 100 (Ruby pistol lineage) to resemble the FN 1910 externally, including a rotating mainspring cap, while retaining Ruby internal mechanics. The pistol was primarily marketed in China with limited success, with only 4,000 units produced in 1926-1927. Its production ceased with the introduction of the more popular Astra Model 900, a Mauser C96 Broomhandle replica.
