Weapon description

S.A.C.M. 1935A, manufacturer Societé Alsacienne de Constructions Mechaniques (S.A.C.M.), calibre 7,65 mm Longue (long), made in 1942, eight rounds (magazine capacity).

This is the third variant of this type of weapon produced after the German army had occupied France. The gun was part of a supply delivered in 1942 to the OKH – Heereswaffenamt Dienstststelle Paris (Supreme Command of the Army – Army Ordnance Office Service Paris). The gun has the correct marking for this type of weapon. The pistol is successively marked on the left side with the Mle model abbreviation with weapon type number 1935A (the letter A stands for Alsacienne), a stylized capital letter indicating the series, followed by serial number, and finally, for all pistols, a capital printed A. Below the serial number is the manufacturer’s abbreviation S.A.C.M. In the centre of this marking is the stamped acceptance mark WaA251 of the acceptance officer, Major von Strasdas, who was assigned the service number 251. The right side features Munich verification marks, including the CIP N mark, which is found in three places. The calibre of the weapon is stamped 7,65 long in front of the verification marks. The gun has a fairly well preserved black baked enamel finish (Parkolac).

The weapon has black bakelite grip panels with herringbone, smooth around the edges corresponding to the type of weapon. The magazine is made of teel with no number corresponding to the design of the year of manufacture of the weapon.
