I don't know...I've never owned an Astra. Quality of machining is much better than WW II Lugers/P38's; not quite as good as Colt Series 70 [commercial]. But close...Tolerances are very good. Finish is very good (still a lot left).

Montelongo at Gunboards tells me the cartouche is the "Águila de San Juan" and is part of the "Shield of Spain"...I'm not sure where that Shield is found, but there are a lot of Eagles on Spanish flags, Police cars, gov't buildings, etc...
