Trying to help a lady in my office collect info on a pistol that her father brought home from Europe in WWII.

The markings on the left side of the pistol are:
B. ECHEVERRIA & EIBAR-ESPANA

Either SA CAL 9mm or 5A CAL 9mm

On the butt of the pistol is the serial number: B250256

I’m not sure of the location but there is another stamp. It starts off “cal.08” then next to it there is a marking that resembles the Army Ordnance symbol (looks like a grenade with either a flame on top or a king’s crown) and inside the circle is the letter P.

I’ve googled STAR pistols and was confused what I found (date of issue, who was it made for, etc.) so I’d be appreciative if anyone can shed some light on this pistol!
