    French Modele 1935 and MAC Mle 1950

    British Enfield No.2 revolver, Webley Mk. IV and Mk.V revolvers, and probably S&W Victory revolvers

    Swiss SIG P210

    Swedish M/07 (FN Model 1903)

    Finnish Lahti L-35 (also M/40 in Sweden)

    Soviet Nagant revolver (apparently lasted into the 50's)

    Argentine Colt Sistema (1911 clone) as well as Ballester-Mollina

    And you can basically add anything from the WWII era that likely saw postwar use, even if it wasn't the standard.
