Can someone Identify this Pistol

I have a pistol from the early 1900's (approx) that appearently was made in Spain, and I am having trouble identifying it. I hope someone here can. Can't find a brand name on it anywhere. On one side of the slide it says "Model 6 35 Cal.". On each of the grips it says "CAL 6.35". On the frame it says "SPAIN" and it also has a serial number "136xx" elsewhere on the frame above the trigger guard. It's measurements are 4 1/4 inches by 3 1/4 inches. Photos are posted to look at. I am looking for the make and model number.
The clip (magizine) is missing so I want to try to find a replacement.

    I have a picture of a pistol with similar grips. It is identified as being made by the Retolaza Brothers of Eibar Spain. As so many of the different Spanish manufacturers made similar pistols, it is difficult to be 100% positive in identifying the manufacturer with certainty.

    You have what is called a <Ruby ("Eibar") Type Pistol. The discription You gave is as close to an exact copy as can be found in 'Spanish Handguns' By Gene Gangarosa Jr."....As far as finding a Magazine.....That's apt to be a tough one....Not impossible...Just the fact that they're far, few and in between...The only guy I know that might have one is Paul Milbury in Glendale..E-mail <militaria@earthlink.net>
