An importer known mostly for its association with Beretta. They did deal in revolvers made by Orbea Hermanos, although I don't think yours in one of those, but rather the product of some other (likely very obscure) Eibar firm. Regardless, it looks to be pretty nicely finished and in outstanding condition, and being chambered for .38 Special is also a plus.

It's interesting that it's marked as a model of 1924, since I believe the government's requirement for marking country of origin changed from just "Spain" to "Made in Spain" in 1923. It probably dates to the 1920's in any case.
