Broomhandle marked 'Royal'

[Robert303]

Hello
I had a very quick look at an old specification C96 type broomhandle today. the only marking I could see on the side of the receiver was 'Royal' doeas anyone know anything about this model or type? Is it an ASTRA? or a CHINESE Broomhandle? Sorry no pictures and not much chance of getting any.

It was made by Astra for the commercial market as the Royal. I think all of the Royal models were in 7.62x25 Mauser.
