David is correct, but you should also know that posting in the for sale section mandates a specific price. If we see more pics, the community can do an appraisal, then have a go at offering it in the WTS. The interested membership will figure out what you have and also help you establish a price that is would be fair. You must do your part by posting pics for this purpose.

There's a "sticky" here somewhere about how to take these documentary shots, but the short list is: 1) Natural light on an overcast day or in the shade--no flash 2) High resolution 3) tripod and self timer to eliminate all camera motion. As far as what to take, that's easy--just about everything: Full left, right, top, back, and front; then every part that has one, closeup of its marking(s). It's nice to have shots of the gun stripped down, to show the numbered parts within, such as the firing pin, and so we can see the inside of the frame.You don't have to do all of them all at once, and you have posted three relatively important ones already!

So far, it appears to be what is called an "alphabet commercial" which was imported into the US between the wars. If the pistol is nice condition, all original, and serial number matching, that would be great, and its liquidation would reward you the most.
