Manufactured in France by Manufacture d'armes de Bayonne (M.A.B.) c. 1960s as a lengthened target version of the standard PA-15, with the French Gendarmerie and Armée de l'Air (Army Air Force) reportedly having purchased limited quantities of the target variant with the designation of Pistolet Automatique de Précision (PAP) F1. Features a full blue finish on the frame and slide (changed to parkerizing in later production), fixed raised target blade front and adjustable notch rear sights dovetailed into the slide, a six inch stainless steel barrel marked with "9M/M" and a Paris House "crown/shield" proof on the right of the chamber, manufacturer's address roll-marked on the left of the slide with the basic model designation on the right, along with the more precise "PA.15.M1" model designation and serial number on the right of the frame, and a Paris House "crown/shield" proof on the right of the trigger guard. Matching "683" partial serial numbers marked on the barrel, recoil spring guide rod, slide catch, and ejector. Fitted with a pair of checkered birch grips and an unmarked blued magazine.

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue finish with some limited minor edge wear, some minor cycling wear, and some minor handling marks. The grips are also excellent with some minor handling wear in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
