Hi, I recently came into possession of a Ruby type pistol.
I know they aren't worth much, I just wonder who made it, or country of origin, or possible year range.
I have seen many of them before, but this one has no info anywhere on it except a serial number, 804, under the muzzle, under the left grip panel, and under the slide behind the firing pin.
I have been over it with a strong light and a magnifier, looking for lettering or proof stamps that might have been taken out by sanding,or filing. But cannot see any.
The only difference I can really find between it and others I have seen is the way the lanyard loop is attached., and it is plated..
I have not seen that mounting on any I have handled.
Maybe someone can help narrow down the manufacturer my that.
I am crosseyed from looking at google photos of old Ruby pistols, but none I have seen have that stud mounting..
Thank you in advance.
