Star Model 14
The Star Model 1914 is a Spanish pistol that was produced by Star Bonifacio Echeverria S.A. between 1914 and 1915, and was largely an improved version of the Star Model 1908, particularly in terms of ergonomics. This model was chosen by the French Army in 7.65mm Browning calibre with a 9-round capacity, also called the Pistolet automatique Star. Based on the Mannlicher 1901/1905, it was produced in 1919 in two versions which varied in dimensions and capacity.
