The Ruby type pistol by Gabilondo was a descendant of an earlier pistol made by Unceta, that would later become Astra- so it gets a little tangled in there. But those curved serrations in the slide speak of Eibar Spain as the origin, no matter which name. 0 -
Do you have a Triple K pistol magazine catalog? If not, get one. It has line drawings of dozens of obscure pistols. 0 -
My reference, "Gunmarks" , by David Byron. Identifies a very similar appearing proof mark. As being Spanish. It was a early, (circa mid 1920's). Definitive proof, on handguns. Prior to the mid 1920's, Spain unlike the other European countries. Didn't have a legal requirement, that firearms had to be proofed. 0 -
Thank you gentlemen for the fast and informative leads and references.
I have a better direction to search in now ☺0 -
The rampant lion is a Czech military acceptance stamp, but I'm pretty sure the slide was made in Spain by Urizar before 1935. Sorry I don't know the details of the Czech/Spain connection, but I've seen what look like Czech designs copied by Urizar, so I'm guessing some kind of pre-war licensing agreement. The ones I've come across have both countries proof stamps on the left side forward of the serrations. 0 -
