Karl Arndt Reck Sportwaffenfabrik of Lauf bei Nürnberg made this pistol in the 1955-65 period. Know as the Reck P8, it sold widely in Europe and was also extensively exported to the USA, where it sold under names as La Fury and Chicago Cub. The company was absorbed by a sporting goods conglomerate in the 1970s and now operates as the Reck Division of Umarex Sportwaffen, Arnsberg, making only starting and similar pistols.

Here is the web address where the information was found:

My first gun was a starter pistol. I was unclear on the concept.

I was seriously about to point out it looked like a vertical gripped colt 25 pocket gun until I saw nate's post

looks nice, what are the dimensions on that?

Yeah, I would also like to see a comparison pic in your hand maybe or some dimensions. Is it fat or no? Looks like an interesting little thing
