Destroyer 9mm Bergman - 9mm Largo Carbine Rifle by Gaztanga

The Destroyer Carbine is a small bolt-action carbine chambered for the 9mm Bergman
i.e. the 9 x 23 mm Largo cartridge.
It was used by Spanish police and prison services, including the Guardia Civil from
the mid-1930s until the late 1960s, replacing the El Tigre Rifle.
It continued the tradition, started in the 1890s, of issuing police units with a short,
handy, repeating carbine in pistol ammunition calibre.

This one is in very good condition with all matched numbers.

The wood does have lots of bumps and scratches due to its use in the service.
Bluing is at about 60% with some minor wear again from handling.
Gun appears to work as intended.

It is essentially a scaled-down Mauser Model 1893 with two rear-mounted locking
lugs and a Mauser-style two-position flip safety.
The Destroyer fired the same ammunition as the standard-issue police handgun but
used a 6-shot single stack magazine.
