The Pistolet Automatique Modèle 1935A was a semiautomatic pistol developed by Charles Petter, a former Army captain and engineer of the French Societe Alsacienne and Constructions mécaniques of Cholet. The Model 35 was used by the French in several wars. Its production started in 1937 but in 1938 it was redesigned to simplify its manufacture and in 1939 she was delivered to the French Army.

MAS (Manufacture d’armes de Saint-Etiene), who was responsible for most of its production, redesigned the project to facilitate the production and his version was called Modèle 1935S. The company’s Switzerland Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft produzr bought the right of the weapon in 1937 and from it developed the SIG P210. A Model 1935A was used by police and the army until 1950 when it was replaced by MAC Mle 1950.
