Gaspar Arizaga was a well known gunmaker in Eibar Spain. They made pistols and shotguns of varying quality. Many of these were "Ruby" style pistols, made in the 1930s. The company began making shotguns in 1895, and went out of business in 1987. 7.65mm is the Euro designation for .32 ACP (.32 auto).
IN A SHOT GUN, BUTTSTOCK, RECIEVER, BARREL AND FORESTOCK. RIFLE= STOCK, BARREL, ACTION, AND BOLT OR LEVER. IN A PISTOL= REVOLVER, WE HAVE BARREL FRAME GRIPS, CYLINDER AND TRIGGER. SEMI AUTO PISTOLS= SLIDE BARREL FRAME GRIPS, AND MAGAZINE OR CLIP.
The only thing close that I found was an Omega under the name of Armero Especiallistas was a Semi-auto 6.35 or 7.65mm pistol marked "Omega" on the slide and grips. Price: Exc. 200.00, VG 150.00, Good 100.00, Fair 75.00, and poor 50.00 hope this helps.
The first production semi auto pistol was the Mauser c/96 "broomhandle" pistol.

Can not be identified as currently described. Provide a detailed description of ALL markings, overall length, overall height, barrel length, number of rounds the magazine holds, any markings on the magazine,etc.. Your .32 auto pistol is probably european, Spanish most likely. There may be the word Eibar somewhere on it, indicating that it was manufactured in the Eibar region of Spain prior to the Spanish civil war when many small gun smiths operated there. You will need to go to a library with a picture of the gun (not with the gun itself) and go through as many of the "Encyclopedia of Guns" books as you can find. Try to match the photo. If there are any proof marks on the gun, you can get a book of proof marks to try and determine its country of origin. If there is a manufacturer's logo on the grip panels, you may be able to identify that. There is no fixed way to identify the gun. You have stumbled upon one of the fun parts of the hobby.
.45 ACP means auto cartridge pistol ( I believe they spelled it pistole though). The .45 auto just means it is an autoloading pistol unlike the revolver style pistol.
.45 ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. It IS .45 Auto.
