Luger P08

A German officer (Arkadi Shcherbakov), commanding the garrison in Madeleine's native village, holds a Luger P08 during the attempt to arrest a Resistance member in Madeleine's father Hippolyte Lantier's house. After the destroying of the German garrison in the village, Hippolyte Lantier (Nikolai Komissarov) takes the officer's pistol.

The pistol is seen on the table near Hippolyte Lantier's plate. In this scene Lantier demonstrates that despite being paraplegic, he still can use the gun but the pistol is seen in Lantier's hands too unclear to make a decent screenshot.

Walther P38

A German officer (Nikolay Gorlov) draws a Walther P38 in the scene in a cafe in the town of Ciboure.

He draws the pistol after Madeleine slaps him but Greene manages to hit the pistol from the officer's hand and send it in flight (the pistol is seen in midair, on the very top of the screenshot).

Mauser C96

When Madeleine Thibault kills a high rank German officer during the performance, another officer in the theater box draws a Mauser C96 (obviously a strange choice for a visit to theater). A Mauser pistol is also seen on the table in the secret base of the Resistance.

Unidentified pistols

A pistol is briefly seen in hands of a French Resistance fighter. This is some full-size military model that bears resemblance with Steyr M1912 but it's hard to say for sure.

In the final scene Claude Junot (Oleg Golubitsky) holds an unidentified pistol. It may be the same FN Model 1910 that was earlier used by Madeleine Thibault but it's hard to say for sure.
