I didn't have any entries until this weekend, when I finally got to the range to fire my new old Libia .25 ACP. It is an inexact copy of the Colt 1908

More accurately, it is a near copy of the 3rd variation FN/Browning Model 1906, which predates the Colt. The Colt, when introduced, used the same safety that was used on the second variation FN.
John Browning originally designed the little .25, which, by agreement, was to be sold in Europe and the rest of the world by FN, and in North America by Colt.
Whomever produced this gun took extra pains to use features as found on the FN guns rather than copy the typically simple "Ruby" type construction.
