Yesterday I posted a pic of my WWII handgun collection and mentioned I was in the market for a few I was missing, specifically a French MAB-D.
After a little advice and encouragement from so_mustangs, I decided to make an offer on a MAB-D rig I had been watching.
It's about an 80% condition MAB-D made during the German occupation and marked with a Wa251 Nazi Waffenamt. Comes with two WWII mags and a WaAD20 marked holster.
Not perfect - no museum piece. It has a small crack in the right grip and it shows 80+ years of wear and tear but as far as I am concerned, that's just character and part of its history.
For about two years I have been looking for a pre-occupation MAB-D but finally gave up on that unicorn and decided Nazi marked MAB-D would have to do.
Finding one as a complete rig was also important to me. I have to have an original holster, two magazines (if applicable) and lanyard (if applicable) for all my MilSurp sidearms. Tracking down an authentic holster and mag would have been a feat in itself.
Here she is....
