Built in Spain and marked "MADE IN SPAIN," this compact .32 ACP follows the MAB G/GZ lineage and is roll-marked "MAB española." Its period-correct configuration and Spanish manufacture place it in the 1960s–1970s era.
The pistol uses a straight-blowback, single-action, hammer-fired system with a fixed 3.15-inch barrel. This fixed-barrel layout is characteristic of the design and pairs with the .32 ACP chambering for a compact profile.
Controls include a left-side manual safety and a button-style magazine release positioned ahead and slightly below the safety. An exposed spur hammer and smooth curved trigger complete the operating setup.
Hardware details include rear vertical slide serrations, a blued slide and frame in carbon steel, and fixed sights consisting of a small half-moon front blade and an integral rear notch. Capacity is 7+1, and two 7-round magazines are included.
This example currently wears smooth light-colored wood grip panels; the original ECHASA checkered black polymer panels are included (broken). A red cardboard box labeled "Caliber 32" is also included.
