This is a 7.65m/m MARS, no German proofs of any kind. Who would have used this pistol?

I must explain you: The MARS pistols from Kohout company (Kdyne, Western Bohemia)were mostly poor machined and then inexpensive. In wartime under German occupation (Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren) the right to keep gun was canceled. The only person can buy a pistol like yours (not Wehrmacht accepted, Czech commercial proof) was either German official or officer. Some "cheap" Nazi party member....
