The arms dealer WH e.K. offers:MAB (Manufacture d'Armes de Bayonne) Brevet Model "A", Type 2 Nickel, Cal. 6.35 mm - collector's weapon and pocket pistol  The MAB Model A is a 6.35 mm (.25 ACP) pocket pistol from France. MAB stands for Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne (sometimes also called Manufacture d'Armes Automatiques de Bayonne) and was a French pistol manufacturer. The Model A was built based on the Browning FN 1906 and Colt Model 1908. The company was founded in 1920 by Léon Barthe. It survived the German occupation during World War II and became a subsidiary of Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN) after several changes of ownership in the 1970s.The MAB Model A is a single action (SA), semi-automatic pistol with a blowback function.The Model A has a manual safety on the left side of the frame as well as a grip safety in the Browning style at the rear of the frame. This feature ensures that the firing mechanism does not operate unless the grip safety is pressed against the operator's palm, thereby eliminating the likelihood of an accidental discharge of the weapon.Production of the Type II Model A with a blued finish began in January 1925. A nickel-finish version appeared in November 1929. The Type II was a 6.35mm pistol that clearly based on the Browning 1906. The Type II also has a second notch on the left side of the slide, allowing the manual safety lock to keep the slide open in the correct position for disassembly.The slide is stamped with: Automatic Pistol CAL.6.35 MM MAB Brevette Modele A. = Automatic Pistol MAB Patented Model A.Manufacturer: MAB Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne, Armurerie Zone 10 : 02 35 05 16 02., FMR : 01 49 42 91 81 (contact email : [email protected]).Model: A, Type 2, pocket pistolWeight   380 grams (13 oz)Length    117 millimeters (4.6 inches)Barrel length    53 millimeters (2.1 in)Width    24 millimeters (0.94 inches)Height    79 millimeters (3.1 in)period-correct horn gripsno valid proof, collector's weapon!no foreign stampsmatching numbersgood conditionAccessories: none* Take the opportunity to view in the store.
