I have an Astra 32 Cal.
I am unable to find information about the gun.
I think the gun was made 1916 or 1917.
It has a French proof mark.
If anyone knows this gun please post the info.

Thanks

  It's is what is known to collectors as a "Ruby Type" pistol. Hundreds of thousands were made by various Spanish manufacturers for the French military during the First World War. Yours has been nickel plated and fitted with replacement grips. Unfortunately there is little collector interest/demand for Ruby pistols that aren't in factory original condition.
  
  Here is a link to more information on "Ruby Type" pistols.
