    Spanish automatic loosely based on the Walther PP design, but without many if the better Walther features. Tens of thousands of these pistols poured into the USA during the 1950s on up to the Gun Control Act of 1968 cut off with SPESCO and the usual gang of suspects mass marketing these guns. Nickle is an unusual option but none of these guns has any collector value and if they shoot they might be worth $100 on a good day to the right buyer. Most folks would rather own something like a PA-63 so you probably won't find much interest in your pistol.

    I did not figure on any major value. I am hoping to find a date and maybe a little history from those here who might have that knowledge base.

    The gun actually says "Eibar." Eibar is a Spanish gunmaking center.
    Your finish is most likely chrome.

    .

    Since the pistol was made in Spain. One of the Proof Marks will be a coded date usually in the format of a capitalized letter in front of a number. If you can give us these two, we can give you the DOM.

    The company known as Echasa, who made your pistol went bankrupt in the late 70's.

    Thanks for the info. You guys help novices like myself so much. I have found a couple of marks towards the rear of the gun but I am gonna have to find a magnifying glass to read them. As soon as I can figure them out I will post them. One mark appears to be possibly a 1 over a circle or something. The second looks to be a 2 over a P or D.
