The GZ, which was also made in .22LR, .32 and .380, did not begin production until after WAC closed.
How many cartridges does the clip hold? MAB Model A holds 6 rounds, the Model E holds 9, and the Model GZ holds 8.
History:
After the first Eibar Type of 1921, in Jänner 1925 the pistol MAB A in the blued version appeared on the market. A nickel plated model followed in November 1929.
The concept of this pistol is like the predecessor model. It is equipped with plastik grips in the contour of the frame, with the companys logo MAB on them. The slide now has vertical serrations, finer and numerous than on the preceding model. A palm safety was placed and the safety lever was placed ath the rear end now, and got an extension to the front with a nose, which fixes the slide in the closed or open position. Like the other MAB-pistols, it got unlocked breech system.
During period of production the pistol MAB A got some smaller modifications, that possibly allow an assignment to the production-date. Trigger and the extractor were first milled out of in steel and have been replaced later on with prefabricated parts from drawn sheet metal. The modificaton of the extractor took place since May 30th, 1948 on all arms, which numbers are higher than 65.000. Furthermore, there are hints that beginning with March 22nd, 1954 the grooves of the barrels of all MAB pistols were made without milling.
The production of the MAB A ended in September 1964.
During the German occupatuin in World War II between 1941 and 1944 according to books 1.130 pistols MAB A were supplied to German authorities. The serial numbers of these pieces are between 107.900 and 109.240.
In the united states, MAB-Pistols were imported and traded by the "Winfield Arms Corporation" in Los Angeles under their name. Early models were marked on the right side with "Made in France for WAC", in later years, the pistols got completely new names for the American market, like for example "Le Defendeur".

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.
