Mines only a little over 100 years old. An interesting pistol, though. My father picked it up during WWII in France. It's a French contract pistol made for the French by the Spanish firm of Bonafacio Escheverria. It's called an Izarra but the design is more commonly referred to as a Ruby. It's based on a John Browning design and has a hammer but it's hidden under the back of the slide. Caliber is 7.65, more commonly known as 32 ACP. It's also a long barrel version which is apparently pretty rare. The grips are sweetheart grips made by my father while he was serving in France. Since he had no sweetheart or girlfriend or wife at the time, the photo is of his kid sister. He kept the original checkered wood grips which I have. The finish is a bit rough, but after I tuned it up (my father always said he was afraid to fire it), it works pretty well. Accurate as well.

My 1995 SA Mil-Spec.
