The Edge and Hans are spot on regarding the nationality!
Hint: The pistol is made in Spain.

Maybe an astra "Ruby". But Spanish handguns are a nightmare with Firms, sub-Firms, false Firms, illegal production and so on.

It's a Ruby Martin.
However, this puts me in a quandary, as both The Edge and Iffig each answered one half of the question, which combined give the full answer. I'll leave it to them to decide who will post the next question.

After his difficult WE, The Edge certainly deserves posting the next question.

Ehmm... :? "Allies & Neutral militaria" is one section bellow, so the identification of an uniform in this quiz should be the secondary issue (bonus points, etc.)

However, just to keep quiz rolling - the next question:

Hi Varjag:

Not being a weapons person, I can only guess at the ID, which I will later, but I just wanted to say that those are wicked cool wheels.
Never have seen that before.

Edit: OK, I cheated, thanks Google. 15mm Besa
