In the first decades of the twentieth century, arms companies of Spain were known in Europe for their copies of Belgian and German revolvers and pistols. Especially popular among Spanish gunsmiths was the pistol of the Browning system in 1906, on the basis of which more than a dozen local semi-automatic and automatic models were developed. Among them was the automatic pistol "Vesta", which can be seen in the exposition of the Museum of Local Lore. This model belongs to the instruments of the "Eibar type". The name comes from the small town of Eibar in northern Spain, which in the early twentieth century was one of the arms capitals of the country.
The pistol "Vesta" was registered in the inventory book of the museum in 1947, however it is not known how it got into the museum collection. It was produced in 1906 in the company of A. Echeverri. The gun had a caliber of 7.65 mm and was intended to defeat the enemy at close ranges. "Vesta" unlike the Browning sample in 1906 has another device fuse: it is located not in the back of the case, but in the middle, above the trigger. This gun has a trigger mechanism, and the store is designed for 10 cartridges, which became possible due to the lengthening of the handle. On the sides of the handle are plastic pads, which are fixed with two screws.
