Hard to find MAB semi auto pocket pistol copy of the Colt 1908 or FN Baby Browning . Overall used condition, dry fires fine. Missing almost all of the grip on one side. Rust, dings, dents, finish loss, wear and tear.
The Martin A. Bascaran semi-automatic pistol is chambered in .25 ACP (6.35?mm) and built on a steel frame with a blued finish. Produced in Spain during the early 1900s, this compact handgun represents the design period when Bascaran manufactured small-caliber automatics influenced by early Browning pocket models. It features a blowback-operated semi-automatic action and wood grips. The configuration aligns with the early “Martian Commercial” pattern attributed to the Bascaran firm, incorporating styling cues similar to the Browning 1906 and Colt 1908 designs.
This pistol is used. The blued finish covers the frame and slide, while the wooden grips display the typical small-frame European styling of the era. The safety mechanism is positioned at the center of the frame, consistent with Bascaran’s early production layout. Grip panels from this series commonly carried the stylized “MAB” monogram along with the “Martian Commercial” marking, identifying the maker and model lineage. The steel construction and compact dimensions reflect the manufacturing approach of Spanish arms makers in the post-World War?I period.
No accessories or additional components are specified. The pistol is presented in its basic configuration with fixed sights, standard grip panels, and a blued steel frame. As a Curio & Relic-eligible firearm from the early 20th century, it illustrates the evolution of small-frame European pocket pistols chambered in .25?ACP. All observable characteristics correspond to the known production features of Martin?A.?Bascaran’s early semi-automatic designs.
