The gun: German
The Grips: Mexican
The Type: Commercial
The Caliber: Most likely 7.65mm.

Okay, I agree with Jerry. The grips are definitely Mexican in origin. Silver or Aluminum? no way to tell from this photograph. Much better photographs are required.

What I do see in the photograph is that this pistol does not have much original finish left on it, but does not appear to have been re-blued. It is not numbered in the military style, the only 'possible' serial number in this photo appears to be on the top front of the safety lever. That says it is a "commercial" gun to me...

Like Ed said, there is no way to determine the caliber from the photo, but I would all but bet that it is 7.65mm...because it is a commercial gun.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it... ( unless further evidence proves me wrong of course. )
