Regarding the "Spain" marked frame pump. Two brands of these I can recall are HETA & Nagusi. The latter being a product line from the former.
Here is a catalogue illustration of HETA models from a 1982 publication and a 1984 one showing the offerings under the Nagusi name. Most of the fittings which came with your Bergie look to hail from the early 1970's and some of the pump models seen here are a decade or more later. One model which would be more contemporaneous with the other components is the HETA Ref. 50821. It looks to be a copy of a REG design.
There are earlier models of HETA pumps which are of a non-framefit design. Will post images as found.

Found some images of a pre-framefit model. The dark red example was posted by our very own guygadois. Handle on these has a rubbery plug at its centre which can be removed for spare spoke storage. HETA is the maker of frame pumps marked ZEUS. Frame pump connoisseurs will recognise a close resemblance to one of the REG models...

Yep. Spot on as usual. This came with the bike. The chromed ends and tube are plastic. I like the wavy shape to the chrome parts. Have to check for the spoke storage - - neat!
Here it is:

Is there an actual Eibar company?
Always thought it only the name of the city and when some cyclists saw it on products they thought it a manufacturer.
Maybe I'll get to learn something...

You know, it's been common knowledge the Eibar made Servettas for some time. But you know how reliable common knowledge is . . . So I did some digging. I found several places where the scooter enthusist sites talk about Eibar as a company:

But I suspect that this just got lazily passed down by people like me and that Eibar is simply a large factory town. I see no evidence of a company called Eibar.
Removing "tidbit" from above post until I see actual evidence.

Thanks for your response from Assisi artclone!
After posting I realised I could not recall if the framefit models have the rubber plug. Have in my workshop NOS Nagusi serie HETA frame pumps. Will have to check. Am away from the workshop this week.
The similarity of some HETA products to the REG model Corsa pump is strong:

Forgot to mention that there is also another brand of Spanish frame pump called the Sarri. Do not know/recall if this be a HETA product or one from another maker. They have aluminum barrels. Have some of these NOS in me shop as well. Will have a look when I get back there.

Here there are framefits listed in a catalgoue page from Zeus Cyclery Corp. of NYC, 1985:

LOL I think the Heta REG copies do not have the rubber plug - spoke holder. To find this out, I wisely spent all day trying to get the plastic plug out today without damaging it before giving up just now when I saw this post.

Apologies for your "wilde plugge chasse"
There is/was also a frame pump whose logo was a dromedary which had the rubber plug.
When one gets back far eno' in Imperos they had them (IIRC!).
