Looks like another "historic" gun for sale

Rauville, I finally woke up to that fact, it isn't a Colt.  Can anybody read the name on the damaged grip panel??

On the grip it says “ CAL-6.35 “ with a crowned lion within a circle beneath that text.

English text on the barrel “ 1913 Automatic Pistol “

A quick google tells me it could have been made by Retolaza Hermanos of Eibar in the 1920s

So how much is a gun like this actually worth? It's up to $505....

[Ipcress]

$100 ?

I don’t buy the provenance. A certificate of authenticity based on word of mouth ?

[SophieMarie]

I understand.  But, I know nothing about guns so just wondered what it was worth in general...thank you!

For me, I would have to have a CLEAR picture of him with it and possibly his fingerprints on it!  🤔🙄🙃
OR if family of law enforcement officer selling it - pic of law enforcement officer with him, etc....

Makes for an interesting story! 

Buyer beware!

yes, its a Spanish pistol like Rauville and Ipcress said.  I just checked in to Gunbroker and it's up to $705 . about two and a half times what its worth.  Oddly enough these little Spanish automatics are popular sellers, but not at that price.

Barnum was right.
