Interesting question. The only WW1 military pistol designations that I can recall are C96, PO8 and LPO8. All of the other military accepted alternate pistols seemed to go by their commerical manufacturer's name and model. In WW2, it appears that the Nazi military admin-types were more apt to assign or adopt more designations: P38, P35(p), P35(b), P37(u), P27, 38H, 98k, G or K43, FTG44, etc. TH
