Finally, won a lot of three or four

Alvin,
If I'm not mistaken the BH stamped in the rear frame means "Beistegui Hermanos" - the same company that later produced the Royal, MM31 and MM34 pistols.
Most of these Ruby pistols were made for the French Army during WWI, as they were suffering of chronic short supplies of semiauto pistols. Again, if I remember correctly, French accepted Ruby pistols had two stars and a letter stamped in the grip. The quality of such pistols ranged from very good to very poor.
