Default Spanish Ruby Pistol W/ Capture Papers

You guys were so helpful with my hi power question, hopefully you can help me out here too!

I just picked up this 1914 Spanish Ruby pistol that I wanted to share with yall. I have been staring at this thing in a pawn shop for a month now. I hardly paid anything for it, but was fascinated with the capture papers with it. Does everything check out? I have never had capture papers before and I have no reason why anyone would fake capture papers for a .32 Ruby pistol.

My observations of the pistol so far are: 1. The wear holster has been carried in a pocket for a long time. The front magazine pocket is rather squished too. I do not think that one has been stored in there for a while. 2. The pistol is not french army accepted and looks to be a commercial type Beistegui Hermanos pistol. 3. The gentleman that signed the capture papers was a Lt. but I can not make out his name. Of course the shop had no other information.

Any information would be appreciated! I would be especially interested in knowing more about the holster.

Thanks!
