GERMAN OCCUPATION French M.A.B. Model “D” SEMI-AUTO Hammerless Pistol C&R
7.65mm Caliber Based on the Model 1910 FN BROWNING
Here we present a C&R World War II Third Reich Proofed French M.A.B. Model “D” Semi-Automatic Hammerless Pistol made by Manufacture d’Armes de Bayonne (M.A.B.) under German control in Bayonne, France circa 1940 to 1944 with a production run between 1933 to 1963. Serial number dating on these pistols makes it hard to nail down a specific date of manufacture. The M.A.B Model C is very clearly based on the Model 1910 FN Browning, and the M.A.B. Model D is simply a larger version of the Model C, which corresponds more or less to the Model 1922 FN Browning. The M.A.B. Models C and D both went into production in September of 1933. Production of the .380 version of the Model C ended in November of 1963, while the .32 caliber (7.65mm) was produced until November of 1967. This example is “WaA251” proofed.
Following World War II, the M.A.B. “D” was used by the French military in Indochina. In France, it was used by various French governmental agencies, including the French local police, the Gendarmerie (military police and also civilian countryside police), the customs department, the National Forests Office, and the Banque de France. As with other French firearms, M.A.B. “D”s were also used by the military and police of the Kingdom of Morocco, a French protectorate. In the years after World War II, German police forces also used the M.A.B. “D”.
The overall condition is fine. Strong action. Original finish. The bore is bright with crisp rifling. Solid grips with light handling. Markings are sharp. The slide has a but of side to side wiggle.
