"Spanish Broomhandles" article in American Rifleman
The Nov 2010 issue has an article by Leonardo Antaris on these pistols. Interesting reading. I scanned it for my archives, but most of the article (not all) is posted online -
http://www.americanrifleman.org/arti...andle-pistols/ And there are five pics not in the magazine article at - http://www.americanrifleman.org/Gall...?cid=22&gid=85 Sadly, not all magazine pics are in the online article.  (And of course, the accompanying comments are not included either)

Those are only the publishers adds... But the author has probably left instructions as to what letters/msgs should be forwarded to him... I'm guessing you have additions/corrections to his material...That he would probably be interested in... From the publishers site, I see he has already written other books on Spanish arms manufacturers... I am wondering if the magazine article is a brief excerpt from a forthcoming book...

In fact I own an example of a Beitegui MM34 mentioned in the article. I would like to exchange notes with him about this particular model in order to have an idea about how many were made.
According to Antaris' essay, Beistegui numbered its guns in a consecutive way, regardless of the Model. I would like to know if he keeps a record of highest serial numbers reported for each model. Douglas |
