Was at at the Heidelberg Rod and Gun Club when I saw my first Astras. A couple of German cab drivers were shooting them.

At 26:31 during the disassembly of the 400 Othais says to "rotate the barrel clockwise" but then rotates the barrel counterclockwise. Doh! AOBTW: For any that that may be interested... My BFF found a "deal" on a 1921 Astra 400 at the local gunshow with a super'smooth trigger, which turned out to send 4 bitter pills downrange (and over top of the berm) in about 6 nanoseconds before he could let go of the trigger! This bit of excitement turned out to be caused by a broken sear return spring!!! Which when replaced returned his "really smooth trigger" to mil-spec standard heavy and grotty.

That magazine release stop pin looks like it would be damaged every time the pistol was dropped on its butt.

9:59 film of guys in a trench... Isn't that a 1924 Châtellerault machine gun, then in the next scene a bunch of MAS36? Time Travel in the Trenches?

IIRC Spanish military caps had these groovy tassels back then.

Got one when they first came into the country. Always fun to shoot.

I was today years old when I realized how much I wanted a full C&Rsenal rundown on Ballistol. Please and thank you.
