I think it is ugly - someone thought it was a good idea to do the two-tone on this classic French pistol. I don't mind cerakote or duracoat - but I think they should have stuck to a single color - black.

reminds me of kimbers solo

honestly though, i am not a fan of antique guns but you've got a point that should never have been done to that poor gun

Never fired and only dropped once.

That's just awful.

No thanks

MAYBE one color looks better, but wouldn't look right.

Took a $300-400 pistol and made a $150 pistol out of it. Good God, what a waste.

not even a mother could love that one... :lol2:

gotta wonder what they were smoking... :rolleyes:

Custom Cerakote Firearms Finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this case "custom" = 0 collector value

Clearly treated with all the respect due a french weapon. The only thing missing is the white flag front sight.

I'd pay $50 to dispose of it for the seller.

Looks like on the rear of the slide they were covering up some pitting too.

I wonder if that cerakote can be blasted off ?

Eeew! I'll pass.

Ruined as a collectable, but might be a decent shooter. Still would rather have all 1 color.

Looked like heavy pitting to me, probably why he coated it.

A Brief History of M.A.B.

MAB = Manufacture d’Armes de Bayonne, or Bayonne Arms Factory. Bayonne is where we get the word bayonet.
