Amongst the captured weapons used were Sten SMG, S&W & Colt Revolvers, M1 Carbines, & assorted others. These 'drops' we're initially intended for the French 'Resistance' Forces, but many times were captured intact by the Axis Occupation Forces.

Thank you !

As we say here, you buy the gun, not the story that comes with it.
We will never know if the PPS symbol was made back in the days but anyway, I like to think it could be.
I had a little hope to find something else interesting engraved behind the hand grips but no.
I was also looking for other markings but nothing at all.
