The .25 ACP and the 6.35 mm Browning are the same cartridge. The barrel marking, which may be worn or lightly stamped, probably originally said 6.35.

The official name of that small pistol is simply "Browning, .25 Caliber Automatic Pistol." It is nicknamed the "Baby Browning" due to its size. It is a refined generation of the orignal Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket pistol, .25 ACP. Here's an online manual if you need it:

BTW .25 inches = 6.35mm.

Which was itself, an almost identical iteration of the FN model of 1905.
