Gabilondo is not Star
Star is Bonifacio Echeverria. Gabilondo y Cia was Llama, but they didn't start using the Llama trade name until the 20s, after the production of the Ruby. It should be referred to as the Gabilondo Ruby, not Star, as they introduced the design and were the primary contractor. Echeverria / Star did actually make some Rubys, but they were subcontracted by Gabilondo to make them for Gabilondo to sell to the French. - Nyles
Rename to just Ruby pistol to encompass the entire range of Ruby-like pistols made under a variety of names?
Echoing some ideas from the above thread, maybe this page should be renamed to Ruby pistol since Star Ruby was just one of the trade names of this type of pistols. The name is also pervasively misused on pages as if Star manufactured all those pistols by themselves, like "Cebra Star Ruby" on The World in My Pocket, Cebra being a trade name used by Zulaica y Cia and not Star. --Wuzh (talk) 03:47, 9 November 2018 (EST)
