Sacm 1935 A Serial Number

Examples of 1935 A serial prefixes. Often hard to read. Eurotherm 810 Manual.

Mle.1935 A pistols were serialized in 10,000 unit blocks, with a letter prefix preceding. This began with the letter A and carried through German occupation and French recapture uninterrupted. Crack Geneious Trial. It appears that pre-invasion the 1935 A made it to serial number B700.

The Germans carried on from B701 until D4550. These will be marked with Waffenamt stamps on the left side of the frame with both code WaA655 and WaA251 having been used. Anything else is likely a fake. Production ended in 1950 in the “I” prefix block. Total production was roughly 85,000 units. Post-war pistols omitted serializing the slide and barrel.
