real or not?

I believe this is one of the Spanish tourist guns from the 1950's or 60's. More work went into these replicas back then. Sometime in the 70's they disappeared. To the uninitiated they appear more authentic looking than the crude Middle-Eastern type copies today. Often, the trigger guard and side plate were not inlet to the stock, which was usually just plain hardwood. Usually, the barrels were actually a casting. Here is another example from the same period. These were never made to fire. Wall hangers only.

It looks like a non-firing replica. Just a decorative wall hanger. If that is what you want there is nothing wrong with that.

I build my own guns; my nephew brought this pistol to my attention so I was looking for answers for him, he is not B/P savvy and I didn't want him to drop some money on a piece of junk. I thought it was a tourist gun but wanted to test the waters to see what you guys had to say about it.

We all agree, junk, non-firing wall hanger.
