Has anyone seen one of these?

Hi All,

I have a cool little pistol here that came back with my Grandfather in WWII . It appears to be French made, and has custom grips (apparently made by my Gramps, and deteriorating) with a picture of my Grabdmother in them (the flash blurred the pic of her). The slide says Pistolet Automatique 635 "MAB" Brevette. I can't get any background on the gun as my Gramps died when I was 5 yrs old. Does anyone know this pistol, and if it has any value? It's 6.35MM, and appears to be fully functioning.

Sorry for the blur....

Thanks
Jr

That is a neat little pistol and with a great history. I would try to find some new grips if you are going to shoot it. That way the grips cant be damaged. I believe that is .25 Auto. If you need ammo check the For Sale board. Massnee is currently selling some.
