- 1x 8-round single-stack steel 1911-pattern magazine (maker's mark not visible)
The Model VIII follows the classic Government-length 1911 layout with a 5-inch barrel, single-action, locked-breech operation, and a steel frame finished in blue. It is chambered in .38 Super and feeds from an 8-round single-stack magazine for an 8+1 capacity when topped off. The barrel hood is marked "CAL. 38SUPER."
Sighting is handled by a fixed ramped front blade paired with a micro-style adjustable rear sight featuring elevation steps. The slide uses rear vertical serrations and a standard ejection port for straightforward manipulation and ejection.
Controls and running gear adhere to familiar 1911 conventions: a short, solid trigger; a long spur hammer; a standard magazine release; and both a thumb safety and a grip safety. Checkered wood grips with medallions provide a traditional appearance and a steady hold.
Origin and markings are clearly defined: the pistol was made in Spain and imported by Stoeger Industries, South Hackensack, New Jersey, with the stamp "STOEGER INDUSTRIES S. HACKENSACK, N.J., MADE IN SPAIN" present on the gun.
