Badass sidearm? A Browning High Power would be pretty trick if it is late enough for the weapon. I want to say that the High Power was built in 1935 (thus the P-35 designation, I believe), so it should easily be late enough. It is a single-action 9mm with the first real staggered hi-capacity magaizne. One round in the pipe and thirteen in the mag made for a potent handgun. As it is a Browning design, it is also reliable and accurate. Great guns, made in Belgium by FN at that time, I think. Check the facts first.
If you want it to be really impressive, wierd, and somewhat out of place, try a S&W M-1917. It is a large frame revolver chambered in .45ACP (it used half-moon clips to hold the rounds in the cylinder). It is a big, potent gun that was relatively common in WWI, and will thus be available on the black market in France any time after WWI. Another good large frame revolver would be a .455 Webley. They were great, horkin' big British guns that were very common in WWI, and still used by Brit 'commando' types in WWII.
