- Tradename of Azanza y Arrizabalaga.
Azanza
& Arrizabalaga of Eibar, Spain.
Operated during the First World War, manufacturing automatic pistols of
the Ruby pattern and continued after the war. Total number
produced
for France 40,000. They also manufactured a gun called Reims
which
came in 6.35 and 7.65. It is not confirmed, but thought, that
they
produced this gun early and French soldiers were themselves buying them
before the French government did.
