What make pistol is this.
7.65 Auto. Looks like Victor Bernedo spainish made for French Military WWI. Has 3" barrel that can be removed by turning 1/2 CW. The proof markings on the barrel when ejection chamber is closed; are a Crown with AA underneath and a standing lion or bear, i think. On the Left side near the top, just behind smooth wood grips and below action slide is stamped PV and the standing bear or lion again, not for sure, also what looks like an X with cup underneath it. This is like the old Browning blow back design. There are no markings on clip. There are no other markings on pistol except CAL 7.65 and 3 didgit serial #. Gun is blued with chorme grip. Looks to be fairly old. Give me your best shot on this fellers.

I believe that the guns are "RUBY" pistols:

That "standing lion" proof was used in Spain for only a short period of time during the 1920"s. Without photos, my WAG thats what it is? The commercial proofed Spanish pistols dating to when they went mandatory proof marks in 1923, aren't as common as the unproved earlier ones. 0 -
BL22. It's Like the top one, that is apart. To pull the slide back, the grooves are straight, not curved. 0 -
