Does anyone have or know of a complete list of handguns used by the Third Reich? I know there were imported ones such as the Astra and the Browning 1922 in addition to the usual Lugers and P.38's, but have not seen a real list anywhere.

This is in addition to German made pistols, of course.

You will never have a complete list.
They used everything they got their hands on.
Many years ago there was an artical on this subject in a popular gun magazine. The author remarked that every German must have had at least three .32 autos or similar pieces in order to account for the numbers of them encountered.MLP

Handguns
Hi,
the P.621(b) was the renamed Browning M1910,
the P.620 (b) was the Browning HP,
the P.35 (p) was the Radom wz.35,
the P.39 (t) was the Czech Cz 38
the P.671 (i) was the Beretta M35 (7.65 mm)
the small letter stands for the country where comes from the handgun (belgium, poland, etc.....)
ciao!

Which handguns were used by the Germans in WWII????
That is easy! Just look up every single handgun made in Europe during or before that time period, and you'll have your list!

That's wrong, sorry.
You rember the Reichsrevolver? Is it WWII period?
Some other examples:
Gewehr 261 (b), belgisch/Belgium Mauser 1889,
G 311 (d) , d******228;n./Denmark M 89 (Krag-J******246;rgensen),
G 361 (f), frz./French Gras 74,
Karabiner 504 (n), norw/Norwegian Lund (Remington rolling block system),
G 255 (r), russ./Russian Wintowka obr 1895 (Modell 95 Winchester)...
For an almost complete list, look for the "Kennbl******228;tter fremden Ger******228;ts, Heft 1, Handwaffen, 50/1, OKH - Heereswaffenamt" last edition as possible (I got a reprint of the edition 20.3.41).

This rifle is a lever action, but with a box magazine as opposed to a tube magazine.
