After the MSA and Stalingrad shoot yesterday, took a little drive over to the Columbia, SC gunshow and this followed me home.

Spanish, Astra 1916 Model, 7.65m/m
This one is most likely from the end of the massive French contract production of "Ruby" type pistols to bolster the need by the French for WWI pistols. There are no proofs or French acceptance marks, but towards the end of production needs were so severe many were delivered devoid of such.
