Portuguese contract was originally for Direccao Material de Guerra Marinha [ navy ] in Dec.23 ,1916 after French contract was completed + not shipped as per Savage records - after first French delivery the pistols were all marked with 7.65 caliber designation that the ones sent to Portugal were not - every Portuguese one i have seen in person + in reference materials had the national crest on grips -

French models with almost 6 times production of Portuguese ones are much scarcer here -
