Updated answer: You need to know the model and caliber, as well.
MAB made pistols from the erly 1920s until the early 1980s, and never used date codes. Most factory records have been lost. To add to the confusion, MAB used different s/n series for some different models, but also had some models share a s/n series. Even worse, MAB restarted the s/n series after WWII and also added new ones. The only way to approximate the manufacturing year is by the s/n and the physical characteristics of the pistol.
original answer: Need a detailed description of all markings.

When were Mab 32 caliber automatic pistols made?
I don't know. Ask your local gun shop. If they don't answer, go to any branch of armed forces and ask them. ============= MAB (Manufacture d'Armes de Bayonne) was a French arms manufacturer that made a number of semi-automatic pistols in various calibers between 1921 and 1983. The pistol models made in .32 ACP (7.65mm) were the models C, D, C/D, GZ and R. The model C was made from 1933 until 1964. The model D was made from 1933 until 1983, and is the most common MAB pistol made. The model C/D (aka "extended grip model C" -- a model C slide and barrel mounted on a model D frame) was made from 1950 until about 1964. Early verions of the model GZ were made in France by MAB, while later versions were made in Spain by Echasa under the name "MAB Espanola". The Echasa MAB GZ came in several calibers, including .32, and was made between 1962 and 1968. The model R-32 (ie, 32 caliber; there were a number of versions of the model R) was made 1950-1958. MAB records are not available. The company was run under German military control during the German occupation of France in WWII, sold several times after the war, and finally closed in 1983. During this, most records were lost. Echasa MAB GZs will have a Spanish production year code stamped on the right side of the frame behind the right grip. The French built models are not date marked. Except for the Echasa MAB GZ, trying to date a specific pistol requires comparing its physical characteristics against other pistols of the same model with serial numbers for which dates are known. This is especially difficult for pistols made after 1958.
Where do you get a mab model a 25 cal magazine?
The MAB Model A has been out of production for about 50 years. Check with a gunsmith- magazines for the Eibar type .25 autos (from Spain) MAY fit- the guns were very similar. I know of no regular source of supply for the MAB magazine. ............ Triple K Manufacturing Co. makes an aftermarket magazine for the MAB model A .25 acp pistol.
Mab 32 caliber automatic pistol?
MAB (Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne) was a major French arms manufacturer that finally closed in the 1980s. It produced a series of semi-automatic pistols from the 1920s until about 1980. Among these were a number of model chambered in 7.65mm/32 ACP. In general, the model designation will be on the left side of the slide. These are well-made and reliable pistols, and saw military action in WWII, North Africa, IndoChina (and Vietnam), Algeria, and other areas of French influence.Among the 32 ACP models most commonly encountered in the US are the Model C and the Model D. Both of these were first made in the 1930s and continued to be made after WWII (although with revised designs). Essentially the same design, the smaller Model C was intended for civilian use, while the larger 9-round MAB D was intended primarily for police and military use. During the German occupation of France during WWII, the Germans continued of these weapons, now for use by the German military; some 50,000 MAB Ds were made during the occupation. MAB pistols used by the Germans will have German acceptance marks (WaffenAmt) stamped into the frames and barrels. (Unfortunately, since fake WaffenAmt are known to be added to raise the price of many weapons, including MABS, it is important to always make sure the model version and serial number are appropriate for a weapon used by the German military. I have seen MAB D pistols made after WWII with WaffenAmt -- obvious fakes, but only if you know what to check for.)After the end of German occupation, the MAB D was produced for French military, police, and civilian use, while the MAB C was again only for civilian use. The French military began phasing the MAB D out in the early 1950s with the arrival of the new 9mm model PA-1950 (aka MAC 50), shifting most to use by federal and local law enforcement.Starting the in the 1950s, large numbers of a number of models of new and surplus MAB pistols were imported into the US by WAC in Los Angeles [initially, Western Arms Corp, then the name changed to Winfield Arms Corp, since there was already a Western Arms Corp in New York]. The new pistols often were stamped "made in France for WAC" and had "WAC" rather than "MAB" printed on the grips.An unusual pistol is the MAB C "extended grip", commonly called a MAB C/D. It is a MAB C slide and barrel mounted on a MAB D frame, made possible because the two pistols were essentially variants of the same design and had parts in common. These were made in the 1950s by MAB, with most appearing to go WAC. They resemble a Spanish Ruby-type pistol, with a short slide/barrel and a long grip.Both the MAB C and MAB D were also made in .380 ACP.

Mab brevette 22 pistol model f.Need information on this pistol.Recently purchased?
updated answer: MAB = Manufacture d'Armes de Bayonne, later Manufacture d'Armes Automatiques de Bayonne, in Bayonne, France brevette = patented The MAB model F was a 10-round .22LR semi-automatic target pistol made from April 1950 until about 1960. It came in several different barrel lengths (3, 4, 6 and 7, and some other lengths, with the longer barrels more common), and the different length barrels could be changed (according to the manual). They came with one plastic right grip and two left grips - a "flat" grip and a thumbrest target grip. Other than the earliest version, the pistol had a lever at the rear of the slide allowing it to be fired as a semi-automatic (normal setting) or as a single shot pistol with the slide locked. In the US, most MAB F pistols were imported and sold through WAC (Western Arms, later Winfield Arms) in Los Angeles, and the pistol may be marked with "made in France for WAC" and the grips marked with "WAC" or "Winfield." Prices vary considerably with condition, but as of late 2011/early 2012, average condition MAB F are selling (retail) for about $250 and excellent condition pistols for up to about $500. The MAB model F is sometimes confused with the MAB model R-22 (sold by WAC under the name "Le Chasseur"), another .22 semi-automatic target pistol that came in various length barrels, which began production in 1954 in both .22 short and .22LR versions. However, the models F and R-22 are two unrelated designs. original answer: Bayonne, Manufacture D'Armes. Bayonne, France. aka MAB Mab model F. mfg 1950. .22 LR target grips 10 round mag.

What is French mab 6.35yndicateur brevete?
MAB is the Manufacture d'Armes de Bayonne, later renamed Manufacture d'Armes Automatiques de Bayonne, a French semi-automatic pistol manufacturer from 1921-1982.6.35 is 6.35mm, or more exactly 6.35x16mm Browning SR, is the metric caliber or size of a firearm cartridge. It is the same as .25 ACP, a small caliber center fire cartidge comparable to the rimfire .22 Long Rifle. The .25 ACP was popular in the first half of the 20th century for small pistols since it was easier to make reliable centerfire mechanisms than rimfire mechanisms. Today, with improved manufacturing methods, it has largely been replaced by the .22 LR.brevete is the French word meaning patentedMost MAB pistol models are marked "brevete" on their slide. MAB made a number of 6.35mm pistols, including the models A, B, E, and GZ (the GZ also came in other calibers). MAB pistols made after about 1933 will have their model marked on the slide, usually on the left side. Early models A and B are not marked, although later ones are.
