Overview
The Ojanguren y Vidosa Furia is a Spanish 7.65mm (.32 ACP) blowback semi-automatic pocket pistol built in Eibar during the 1920s and 1930s. An "Eibar type" Browning copy patterned on the FN/Browning Model 1906/1910 layout, it was sold under the Furia trade name as an inexpensive self-defence sidearm typical of the Spanish pocket-pistol trade of the period. An example chambered in 7.65mm with an 80mm barrel and 150mm overall length is held in the Imperial War Museums collection.

Notes
Furia was one of several trade names used by Ojanguren y Vidosa of Eibar (alongside Apache, Tanque, Crucero, Puppet and others). The documented Furia is the 7.65mm (.32 ACP) Eibar Browning copy; the same maker also produced near-identical 6.35mm (.25 ACP) pocket pistols under its various brands.
Background
Eibar's gunmaking district turned out dozens of near-identical .25 and .32 blowback pocket pistols under colourful brand names like Furia, Apache and Tanque, flooding the European market with cheap concealable self-defence guns between the World Wars.
