It kinda looks like a baby browning.

That's what i was thinking but I think the rear of the slide looks more rounded.
Tough call. It does resemble the baby Browning, but there were maybe a zillion knockoff’s and quasi copies made worldwide. At one time.25 was ‘“The” caliber for concealment anmd a lot of folks tointobuilding them. Some were quite good, some junk. Any markings on it at all?

No Markings? Most likely one of those aforementioned knockoffs
Yup, don’t know of any serious gunmaker that doesn’t have Some markings on their products-plu usually a “proof” mark. Pistol looks rough-any chance markings were, ahem, “Removed” by a previous owner?No Markings? Most likely one of those aforementioned knockoffs

Absolutely zero markings is unusual.
If you really zoom in on the left side of the slide, there’s something there, but I can’t make out what it is…almost like they’ve been purposely removed.
My money is a Spanish Baby Browning copy.

Does it have a grip safety?
And did it have grips on it?
And did it have grips on it?
That’d be my guess. I suspect a forensics lab could “Raise” some markings.
No it doesn't have a safety and no grips

I think it’s a Ruby.
The Royal is kinda close, but the grips would be wrong. The Guernica is closer, but the cocking serrations aren’t quite right…

It’s a hit man special post forensics finger prints came into play. Probably a throw away. Do the hit, quick wipe down then chuck it

Your google-fu is as good as mine, my man.
And I wouldn’t swear to it being a Ruby…but it’s close.
