in production 1933 to 1963. No detailed public database. There were two MAB D versions, usually called the Type I and Type II. The Type I MAB D was made 1933-1945 and used an external muzzle bushing release latch in front of the trigger guard; the Type II used an internal "bayonet" type release requiring pushing in and turning the muzzle bushing. The MAB factory changed from the Type I to Type II production in June 1945.
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.
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.

The French MAB 7.65 Cal. Brevete Model D is normally chambered for the 7.65x17mm Browning SR, which is the same as .32 ACP. This is a pretty common round, which can easily be found at any local gun shop and many sporting goods stores. You can also buy it through mail order outlets. Whether this is cheaper depends on the cost of shipping the ammo.

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.
strip poker.. strip truth or dare.. or just save playing a game just strip :D BYE FOR NOW!
toss him or strip for him tha should work :D
This was reffered to at the time of production to the different level of finish of the model 30 shotgun.The model 30 could be had in various levels of finish and engraving from grade A-thru grade D,with each level being more fancy as far as the grade of wood,and engraving of the metal.I believe the level G stood for the field grade model.

I know from old ads that the model D was available in 1929. The first Moviola was built around 1924. I have a Model D and there is no date on it.
