    It's a inexpensive Spanish knock-off of the Browning .25 Auto. My reference attributes it to a manufacturer named Santiago Salaberrin. Although their were so many makers in the Basque areas of Spain prior to the Spanish Civil War, who made similar handguns it could have been by any of them.

    Since it doesn't have any proof marks, it's at least 75 years old. Chances of getting replacement parts that would work without a lot of hand fitting are slim.

    Rufe-Snow has made the correct call! Your little pistol is what We generally call a RUBY Type Pistol...There were many makers building these little guns and they were generally called the 'RUBY'.....Parts are going to be next to impossible to locate and if you find something that is close, it will have to be hand fitted..and Re-Hardened....If you're going to play with Ruby {"Eibar"} Type Pistols you really ought to purchase a Copy of Gene Gangarosa's Book on Spanish Handguns...It will teach You more than We can....and my sugestion is not to shoot any of these little guns...They're just not up to the Modern pressures of todays cartridges.....I wish you luck in chasing down replacement parts....

    I had the exact same pistol years ago that I inherited from my aunt. The pistol had been passed down to her from her brother.

    I sold it 6 years ago for about $30.00.

    It was a good pocket pistol, and was reliable for feeding and ejecting, but was so inaccurate it would barely place a bullet on an 8-inch pie plate 10 feet away.

    Regards,
