The MAB Model A is a 6.35 mm (.25 ACP) caliber pocket pistol made in Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne, France from 1925 to 1963. It was nearly identical to the Astra-Unceta Victoria 1911 Model pistols which were manufactured in large quantities in the Basque region of Northern Spain and Southern France in the first three decades of the 20th century. Type II MAB Model A diverged from the Eibar pistols, features a number of simplifications designed to speed manufacture. After the war, MAB pistols were imported into the United States by the Western Arms Corporation , and later were sold by its distributor, the Winfield Arms Corporation (WAC).
The MAPF Unique mod 10 is a French copy of the Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket. It was produced by Manufacture d'Armes des Pyrénées in Hendaye (MAPF) circa 1925 - 1940. Virtually all the surviving brand names were abandoned after the German invasion in 1940 and the subsequent partition of France. For example Lepco was a .25 ACP model made for the "Lepco firearms company" (L. Le Personne & Co. ), a distibutor working in London.
