*HIGHLY DESIRABLE BEISTEGUI HERMANOS MM31 WITH DETACHABLE MAGAZINE. SN 31496. Cal. 7.63mm. Only a few Beistegui Hermanos MM31s were factory modified to fire as strict semi-automatics. This example has a 5-1/2″ bbl, short extractor, slip-in 50-1000 rear sight, two lug firing pin, small ring hammer. Full SN is on left chamber flat. Matching numbers are on bolt stop, bolt, hammer, subframe and frame. Disassembly shows matching subframe numbers. Beistegui grips are correct and unnumbered. 20-shot mag is from a Mauser 712 and marked with Mauser banner on floorplate. Replaced lanyard ring. PROVENANCE: Ralph Merrill Collection CONDITION: Pistol has about 95% original blue with a few scratches under bbl and wear on each side of the bbl extension rail. Front and backstraps are thin as might be expected from moderate handling. There is little heat treatment left on trigger. Most of other small parts have about 70% of their original fire blue. Bore with strong rifling and minor frosting in grooves. One of the most desirable Beistegui pistols. (C&R). 4-47285 LMA106 (5,000-10,000)
