    I believe your making a error in identification. The MAS 38 is a Submachine Gun. The MAS 1935 S is a pistol. Your probably confusing the Model 1935 "A" and "S" pistols, with one another. The 35 "A" was the one made for German use during their wartime occupation of France.

    Please post quality photos of the pistol, so we could help you with identification and valuation.

    It says on the barrel cal 7.65 ,type SE-MAS 1935 f80x. Its identical looking to the mas 38 maybe early model change.Its not a pistol. Its a submachine gun.

    The problem with submachine guns as with other selective fire firearms, is that they are severally regulated by the feds. It's value is moot unless it was papered/licensed during or before the 1968 amnesty. Without the above paperwork it can not be legally sold or possessed, the best you could hope for would be to donate it to a museum for a nominal tax write-off.

    Selective fire firearms can only be sold through FFL's that have a "Class 3" license, i.e. you couldn't transfer the submachine guns to anybody until all the paperwork was signed sealed and delivered.

    You might contact Mark Christan one of our moderators, he is a Class 3 dealer. He if anybody would be able to advise you on the rarity and value of the French submachine guns. If they are richeous as far as the required tax stamps/amnesty papers are concerned, they would be worth in the multiple thousands.
