The M1914 retained most of the features of Julian’s first pistol design, More so, of the La Lira/Triumph pistol, though unlike these two it was blowback operated (rather than delayed blowback). The M1914 was very reminiscent of the Steyr-Mannlicher and, even Top-mounted extractor like the Steyr- Mannlicher, though each new model saw some design improvement.īefore the beginning of World War I, in 1914, Star brought out its first pistol in a larger caliber: the 7.65mm Model 1914. Most Star pistols were based on this design up until 1920, and even after that Star’s small caliber blowback pistols continued to have a fixed barrel, an open-top slide, and a Probably at about the same time he worked on the La Lira pistol, or soon thereafter, Julian designed a blowback operated pistol, which was also based on the Steyr-Mannlicher he received a patent for it in June The gun, known as the La Lira, and later as the Triumph, was externally nearly identical to the Mannlicher, but had a removeable magazine and wasĬhambered for the 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) cartridge, which was more readily available than the proprietary 7.63mm Mannlicher cartridge. Julian Echeverría helped to design an improved version of the Steyr-Mannlicher M1901 pistol for the Spanish arms manufacturer Gárate, Anitua y Cia.
