Description:
French Ruby 1914 Retolaza Pistol
Semiautomatic
Hermanos Retolaza automatic pistol with pearlized plastic grips. Manufactured in Eibar, Spain in 1914. Has circled RH on left side behind grip. Includes leather holster.
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, and was subsequently replaced.
