Star Ruby was actually designed in Spain when the firearm industry saw that the French and Spanish would need a small automatic pistol for use in World War 1. From 1915-1918, they produced some 700,000 Ruby Pistols. The Ruby had a problem of part interchangablity due to the fact that many of the Ruby pistols were produced in some 39 cottage-industry shops under various names. The French Military need a lot of small arms fast, and therefore were in no position to argue this point. However, most Ruby pistols were in fact produced by the Spanish firm of Gabilondo in Eibar (Star). These were mass-produced and did have interchangeable parts, and functioned quite well. The Ruby was issued to Telephonists, Stretcher Bearers, Chauchat (Machine Gun) Gunners along with Loaders, 37mm Mortar Crews. and Tank Crews. It served on in the French military until the 1930's.
