The safety is just to not load the chamber until you're ready to fire it.
Not possible to determine. No records, Astra is out of business.
100-400 or so
100-300 usd or so
No. There are derringer pistols that have no safety, and a few revolvers made in 9mm caliber with no safety. There have been several 9mm pistols made with no safety.
Yes. Engage the safety.

A used Vauxhall Astra should come with all standard safety features. It is important to find a car with overall good safety ratings and functional airbags.
yes
A cheap Vauxhall Astra is still produced today and has standard safety features. Concerns may arise because the car is not built for high speeds or towing, which can cause safety concerns.
I did a quick check of a few of the usual sources, and came up empty. Astra was closed after the owner was killed by Basque Separatists in 1977, so a used barrel is your only likely route. They DO show up on auctionarms and gunbroker from time to time.
Astra - Spain's official military sidearm from 1921 to approximately 1946 was the Astra Model 1921 or, more commonly referred to by its commercial designation, the Model 400. The Astra began making pistols but its factory was destroyed during the civil war. Fortunately for Astra, the company thrived during the Franco period and, while Spain was neutral in WWII, Franco sanctioned the production of Astra pistols for Germany. Records indicate 6,000 Model 400 (9mm Largo), 6,000 Model 300 (9mm Kurz) and 10,450 Model 600 (9mm Luger) were delivered to the German Wehrmacht. One of the ironies of history is 31,000+ Model 600s were paid for by the Wehrmacht but could not be delivered to the Germans at the French border because the D-Day invasion had begun. Held by the Spanish government until the 1950s, these same Model 600s were then sold once again to Germany to arm its newly established West German police force.
Yes, there are three forms of safety mechanisms on the AMT 380 9mm Kurz. 1.) Typical Grip Safety that must be gripped/depressed in order to fire the pistol. 2.) Thumb safety in front of the left grip panel. Move it up for safe (visible white dot) or down to fire (visible red dot) 3.) The brain matter between your ears. :-)
