I have wondered Belford page 155 for many years... until now
On Belford classical book "Mauser Self-loading Pistol" page 155, he posted a picture of a Spanish 20-shot Azul with detachable magazine. This type is hard to see,,,, I did have a 9mm Largo caliber pistol like the one he printed in the past, but it's 10-shot, I have never seen a magazine like he posted in 1960s. Not only me, a friend collector also wondered this type... we looked at the book pictures under glass magnifier many times, it's obviously not a Schnellfeuer style magazine. no other information has been mentioned anywhere... until we find a sample. Never fired Spanish Azul in the past, won't miss this opportunity this time. Belford was too concise, he did not mention many things.
