Rylan,

Took a lot more pics, but can't post all of them here!!
It seems that at the time we thought the pistol was Italian, however in looking thru Still's AXIS PISTOLS, it looks like a French Unique mdl 17 which was produced for the German Army. All features match except the shape of the front of the trigger guard is a little different, although this could be due to the angle that my picture was taken. I do remember that it was 32 caliber.

Maybe some of the experts here can identify it.
