Spanish pistol

I've got an old Spanich automatic. No makers mark. All it says is Pistola Automatica kal. 7.65. Made in Spain. Has a lanyard ring so am assuming it's military. Shoots pretty good, don't look like much.

Sounds like the basic Spanish Ruby type pistol. Made by many small family shops throughout Spain in the early 20th Century. Condition/quality varies from good shooter to junk, depending on maker. Not much 'collector value', but the better ones can be okay to shoot.
I'd get it checked by a good 'smith before trying to shoot it though.

Oh I've been shooting it. It works flawlessly and is fairly decent accuracy wise. Nothing to brag about.
