Spanish, I believe a number of them were supplied to Germany during WW2 for officers. Are there any Waffenampts on the pistol?

 

[Black Bart]

I believe a number of companies made this model. Paramount, EU, Eibar, & later Astra (which I believe bought out EU) I think they were made from around 1900 thru WW2. Is the bottom of the mag marked?

Spanish made pistol, made between 1918 and 1923 based on type of pistol grip material, and lack of proof marks implemented by the Eibar proof house in 1923. The "Republic" name was used by several Spanish manufacturers during this period.

Thanks for the help,Iwondered why it did not show proof marks or country of origin. there are no marks on th mag but the safty lever is marked S and F which I would think was taylored to the american market. I hear it alot but the owner told me his grandfather brought it back from WW2. c

A lot of weapons were used in WWII that were not officially adopted by the Germans or other entities.
