During WWII when the Germans occupied France one of the cities that the laid claim to was Bayonne, mainly for the MAB factory. Due to the war, there were several manufacturing runs that resulted in duplicate serial numbers; the real distinguishing clue to when a particular gun was made is the type of pistol; there are two variants. Type I pistols have a take down lever on the bottom front of the slide that fits into a notch on the barrel nut. Serial numbers for the Brevete Model D started in 1933 at serial number 10750; mine is 38648 so I assume it was pre-WWII made. Type Is were made until 1945; Type IIs until the end of production. My gun is a type I; not sure of the manufacture date; many of the German WWII guns have Waffenamt acceptance marks and usually the French government issued guns (Police, Bank of France), etc. The holster has an unreadable name inside the flap and a stamped number. The magazine is interesting; it isnt a MAB factory magazine; it is marked in a script inside an oval FN 7.65. Look carefully on the holster where the latching flap snaps up. ![]() The holster is a cut down US M1916 holster for the 45; I believe the holster is actually FFI, and they carried anything in it that would fit, but I could very well be wrong on this. Didnt know theyd fit, but the Model D was made w extended frame and mag capacity to compete wthe FN1922 at the time. MAB kept the original slide of the Model C pistol though instead of adding an extension as FN did with the 1910 to 1922 Model change. ![]() If you have the hardcover edition of Peter ODonnells 1966 novel, Modesty Blaise, it has a MAB.25 on it. That was one of several guns that Modesty carried in that series. It looks a LOT like the FN-made M-1906 or the identical Colt.25, but lacks a grip safety.
