Ha, looks like a fat, ugly step sister to the Destroyer. I've no knowledge of it though. Is there anything on the barrel other than union? Dates, country of origin? What about the bolt, any markings there? Wonder if this would shoot .38 super?

Well after a quick web search it is a Destroyer Carbine look up Eibar Carbine and Destroyer carbine for more info.

That type is mentioned in the article at:

It actually feeds from a box magazine.
The article says what looks like a tubular magazine under the barrel is a carrier for the cleaning rod, although some writers speculated that it was for reserve ammunition.

Yes I found that site as well but have yet to find information on the "UNION" stamped one I have.The tybe under magazine is the same as one pictured the end screws off for bulltes or cleaning rods.The tube is easy to take off completely it ends just inside stock.There is a small magazine mine sticks out right below bottom of stock.There is a H stamped on it for date code so it was made in 1935 if that is right.

What's the magazine capacity?

Looks like a cool rifle, have you shot it? I'd be curious to know how it shoots.

Can you post more photos, please?

Thanks.
