Need help identifying pistol

gearheaddad
Todays subject is a semi auto pistol in 380acp, double action. On one side of gun it's marked "under license of MAUSER-WERKE Oberndorf GMBH. Model HSc SUPER Cal.380acp".
On the other side it's marked "RENATO GAMBA GARDONE-ITALY"
serial number 04229 I assume it's an Italian gun made under the licence of Mauser. It's in excellent condition with very nice large checkered wood grips, and appears almost new. two magazines that look like 12-14 round capacity. I haven't tryed loading the mags. Just curious of the approximate age and value.
I also have the original manual.
Thanks in advance for any information.

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to repair my great grandfathers Harrington and Richardson 5 shot 32 cal top break revolver (with exposed hammer). I was recently contacted by the gunsmith(who is restoring the piece) who stated that I needed to track down a hand and a hand spring for this pistol. To me I thought that was BS, thats like an oil change place asking you to bring your own oil. Anyway, I am having a hard time finding these parts and an even harder time figuring out which model this is (makes tracking down parts a little easier). The gun has no serial number and has the following information located on the top of the barrel:

    Harrington and Richardson Arms Co. Wooster Mass
    October 4, 1887, May 14, August 6 1889 April 2.95 April 7 1896

    I asked him if there was a serial number under the plastic grips and he said no. I am enclosing a link of a similar picture of this gun that I found on here for auction. Please help me identify the model and find the needed parts.

    My reference notes that Gamba made these licensed versions of the Mauser HSc as early as the 70's. Your HSc Super, though dates from the late 80's.

    Standard Catalog 2005 gives it $325 in excellent condition, down to $125 in poor condition.
