Fondata intorno al 1890, la Retolaza Hermanos era una fabbrica basca specializzata in revolver economici (tipo Velo-Dog) e copie di pistole brevettate da John Browning. All’inizio del Novecento, i produttori della città di Eibar avevano l’abitudine commerciale di battezzare le proprie armi tascabili con nomi legati a grandi eventi d’attualità, scoperte scientifiche o temi aspirazionali del momento. Nel aprile del 1912, il tragico naufragio del transatlantico RMS Titanic sconvolse il mondo intero. Cogliendo l’enorme risonanza mediatica dell’evento, la Retolaza Hermanos decise di registrare il marchio e lanciare sul mercato nel 1913 una piccola pistola tascabile in calibro 6,35 mm (.25 ACP) denominata proprio “Titanic”. Nel 1914, a ridosso dello scoppio della Prima Guerra Mondiale, la ditta decise di ingrandire la struttura meccanica del modello tascabile per adattarlo al più potente calibro 7,65 mm Browning (.32 ACP), dando vita alla Titanic M1914. Questa versione manteneva i punzoni e la filosofia estetica della sorella minore (recando sul carrello la scritta 7.65 1914 Automatic Pistol Titanic Patent), ma rientrava a pieno titolo nella categoria delle pistole di tipo “Eibar” o “Ruby”. Quando la Francia e l’Italia iniziarono a richiedere massicciamente pistole calibro 7,65 mm per le proprie truppe in trincea, la Retolaza Hermanos partecipò alla vasta fornitura bellica militare (la cosiddetta “corsa all’oro” delle fabbriche basche del 1915). Tuttavia, per i contratti governativi dell’esercito francese, la Retolaza produsse le armi principalmente sotto altri marchi di sua proprietà (come Liberty, Paramount o Vilar), mentre il nome Titanic rimase prevalentemente legato al mercato commerciale civile o alle forniture private degli ufficiali dell’epoca.
