Serial No. 50084. Caliber 7.65 automatic, blued finish, black plastic grips, 2" barrel, magazine fed. Left side of slide stamped "Regina". Metal retains approximately 50% original blue finish, balance plum. Very good grips. Perfect action. Strong frosted bore. The self-loading Ruby pistol is best known as a French World War I sidearm, the Pistolet Automatique de 7 millim.65 genre "Ruby". A very international piece of weaponry, it was closely modeled after John Browning's M1903 design produced by the Belgian Fabrique Nationale de Herstal, and was produced by over 50 Spanish companies, but primarily by the Spanish Gabilondo y Urresti firm (the official "Gabilondo Ruby"). It was decommissioned in 1958, more than a decade after World War II was brought to an end. Comes with a vintage unmarked holster and extra magazine.
