Right at the onset of WWI in August of 1914, The French realized that they would need a large amount of small arms to equip the Army that was being mobilized against the Germans. They immediately looked to Spain for handguns in the Northwest part of the country where there was a long established weapons industry. One design was selected, a 7.65mm (.32 auto) based upon the FN Model 1903. It was made by Gabilondo y Urresti and was called the Ruby Pistol. This Astra 1916 ?Ruby Pistol? is stamped ?HOPE? and ?PG? with a crown on the barrel. The pistol is in very good condition showing signs of use and wear. The firearm is sold with one magazines. Please see photos.
