An old Star clone

This is a very interesting gun. It is not a Star. It is a copy of sorts. Likely a hand made copy, likely due to guesses at timeframe, from China or similar areas in east Asia.

Hand made doesn't mean it's a one-off, but was mass produced such as it was, in a distributed workshop, off a master plan but with rudimentary tools. Often, just a vise and a set of hand files! There is no casting or forging, just a block of questionable metal, cut to shape and finished. Nope, no heat treat either. See the broken extractor as an example. 

Aside from poor shaping work and never-built things like model F features in a model I (squared barrel, etc) .32, the irregular and inconsistent stamping is the giveaway. Multiple nationalities (US, Spanish, German, maybe UK with the arrows) is common for these. I guess the theory was that you as a buyer recognize one as quality, so buy it based on that. 

Stocks are unusual but not unprecedented. Most of these have bad wood, but some have molded-from-original plastic like this. Look close and you'll see not wear, but actual distortion in the checkering, the logo. That's bad mold work, never seen on major maker gun stocks. The bottom also looks like wood and has been fitted, so the mold for the stocks was very strange indeed. 

While interesting pieces, and a few do collect them, these knockoffs are generally not safe to use. Even in low calibers like .32, I would look at it, boggle over it, but not actually load and shoot one even on a dare.
