Yo /k/, a friend of mine came across this little pocket rocket. It's from his grandpa who was a portuguese Gendarme/National Republican Guard, it's not his service weapon ofcourse.
I'd like to know more info about it, like model name, caliber and current pricing.

The pics I find online don't seem to match this specific model, and the dude swears it's 6.35mm

It looks kinda like a Colt Vest Pocket, it might be an Astra copy, in that there were dozens of small manufacturers in Spain and Europe cranking those out.
I can't tell if there's a magazine in place. If you don't have a mag for it, it might be worthless.

More like a Colt Junior. You're right about the Astra copies, but it still might be worth $50+ without a mag. I'd try an Astra magazine.

It has atleast one magazine, and appearantly it's a spanish clone of some sort of "Browning" design in 6.35mm/.25ACP. The grips aren't original tho. I'm guessing it's gonna be worth 100-200€ here in my country

Perhaps even more than that depending on what is available in your country. Very few people in the US consider a .25acp as a viable self defense round, although is was a common caliber for concealed carry until about 20 years ago.

Some sort of Ruby it seems. Astra made a ton of them, I'm sure some got into Portugal.
