World War I FRENCH ARMY Spanish AZANZA Y ARRIZABALAGA Model 1916 Pistol C&R .32 ACP Caliber w/ LEATHER HOLSTER and EXTRA MAG
Description: World War I FRENCH ARMY Spanish AZANZA Y ARRIZABALAGA Model 1916 Pistol C&R .32 ACP Caliber w/ LEATHER HOLSTER and EXTRA MAG Here we present a C&R Azanza Y Arrizabalaga Model 1916 Ruby Pistol in .32 ACP made in Eibar, Spain circa late 1916 to early 1917. Pistols made for the French Army typically had a one or two letter mark in an oval on the rear left of the frame, as does this one (AA). These letters identified the manufacturer, irrespective of the trademark name. In addition, pistols were supposed to be marked with a star or pair of stars on the bottom of the frame alongside the magazine well when they were formally accepted for French service. Not all of them received this depending on how urgent the need for guns was when a shipment arrived, but it is a useful marking to look for. This example does have the two star marking on the frame heel. The trade names on these Eibar-type pistols are a virtually bottomless well. At least 45 different small companies made these pistols, sometimes marked with a company name and sometimes with names like “Liberty”, “Destroyer”, “Venus”, “Modelo 1916”, “Trust”, and others. In addition to French sales, many were also sold to the Italian Army, as that country struggled to keep up with domestic production of military pistols. Many were brought back to the United States after the Great War or even World War II. The overall condition is very good. Original finish. Strong action. The bore is bright. Both grips are firmly seated and contains an expected amount of wear. Legible markings. The period holster is in good shape and includes a spare magazine. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel length: 3-3/8 inches Caliber: .32 ACP (7.65x17mm Browning) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. ancestryguns $1050 #220696 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
