post any and all marks found on it as well as the pic. Just a suggestion. Also some folks like to put xxx for the last 3 digits of its serial #
Does it look like this?
If the answer is no it looks even cruder then the pistol is probably a Campo Giro 1913/16.
The caliber 9mm Largo is the Spanish designation of the identical 9mm Bergmann-Bayard cartridge
Camp-Giro pistols were purchased as surplus by the Constabulary and used during the Mexican Revolution and in the era immediately following.
They have quite a bit of collector value if in good condition.
I apologize for noy having a photo of a Campo-Giro but I don't own one and don't care to pirate photographs.
This is an Astra 400/1921 9mm Largo.
