This video examines a Spanish-made copy of the Savage automatic pistol, produced in the Eibar region known for its pistol manufacturing during WWI and the Spanish Civil War. While externally resembling the Savage, the internal mechanism is a simple blowback design similar to the Ruby pistols, rather than the Savage's semi-locked rotating barrel system. Key visual cues like slide serrations, barrel jacket, and safety lever are highlighted as attempts to mimic the original Savage.
