Over the weekend I picked up a M1935A out of MSP jail (I get it, should get a C&R license already). I have wanted one of these pistols for years, and I can say quite firmly I am not disappointed by it. The father of the Sig Saeur P-210 (as the patent for the M1935A was purchased by them), the M1935A was a handgun designed by Charles Petter and manufactured by SACM (Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques).
The particular model I have is a bit special, however. My particular pistol was produced during the Nazi occupation of France and has a WaA251 stamp to show for it. The finish is the typical French black enamel paint, and my particular pistol shows signs of heavy use (although the mechanical condition and barrel are excellent). My only regret with purchasing this pistol is the ammo which is, quite sadly, extremely hard to come by. It can be reloaded for, but not very easily. A shame really, as I greatly enjoyed my first range trip with it.
Now, I have to find myself an actual Sig P-210. Yeah... my wallet is gonna hurt.
