Need help IDing what I believe is a German Semi Auto pistol in 32 ACP
Side of frame reads DEUTSCHE SELBSTLADE PISTOLE CAL 7.65m/m
Not sure of maker or model type this pistol is or any other information. I believe the grips are not original and have been changed at one time
Thanks



Thanks to amparts I was able to locate a picture of the gun in Mathews Firearms Identification in Vol 2 page 357 gun #1011

  Don't believe that it was made in Germany. No matter what the markings are.
  
  Although possibility exists, that it is a variant of a "Ruby Type". Made in some Eibar workshop.
  
  Still feel that it came from Dara, or some similar place in Central Asia. The guns they make are for semi literate tribesman, who put great store in guns made in England, Germany, Belgium etc.

  Got this photo off the Rock Island auction web site. They identify it is as the Gotthilf von Nordheim pistol. The only similarity that I can see, with the one in your possession is the slide legend.
