well i can tell that it's not a Mexican obregon, I haven't seen an Argentinian Ballester pistol to rule that out. Other than that even i am stumped for now...Dang having stored all my gun ID guides in preperation to moving to a free state.

Having found a guide right now it looks closest to either a French MAS 35S or a MAS 50. Neither are exact matches but they are as close as I can get with the resources i have on hand.

It's not a Ballester-Molina, though good guess. Interesting you mention the MAS M1935S and MAS-50 (also the SACM M1935A would apply, they're all related designs) - I was just thinking how they're similar. They're all based on the 1911 with the addition of a very similar slide safety. They are not, however, related.
That said, you're not likely to find this in a general gun identification guide, while it is a production gun it's somewhat obscure. I suggest taking a good look at the extractor, it's a pretty big hint.

The Box of Truth just did an article on the "Ballerina Molester" not too long ago.

It's a Star Model 1920 pistol.
Here's one that is more practical in training us how to identify guns as they pertain to movies or real life variations. It's not a rare prototype or a gun that was in production briefly decades ago which we will probably never see in film, or ever (no offense Nyles and other obscure gun collectors, mad respect!), but a particular variant that will require some background knowledge.  Look familiar? Last edited by Yournamehere; 03-28-2010 at 08:15 AM.

FN commercial production Hi Power, probably from the 70s by the looks of it. Harder to tell without seeing which kind of extractor it has. My buddy is a Hi Power fanatic and could (every time I find a rare Hi Power variant he convinces me to pass it to him - even a WW2 Finn contract, I can't believe he suckered me into it), but my interest is mostly the pre-1945 variations.

Both of you have stepped into the laser guided bear trap. You are both incorrect. You have to look at the slide stamp closely.
