WW2 Firearms trivia question

RE: WW2 Firearms trivia question
Hello Guys,

SG is correct.. I am looking for the firearm that was not issued as experimental, produced but not issued, or issued in extremely low production numbers per captita of serving front line troops.. but as a regular issue firearm that saw service from it's initial production/introduction thru the end of the war (and in this case saw service well into the 1960's).

As a hint, this european country had (still has) a small standing army, so only appx 30,000 of this firearm were produced and was not a major combatant in WW2.

The Tokarev is a good candidate.. but here's a clue.. Egypt bought the production machinery from the (yet to be un-named) parent country in the 1950's and manufactured it for their own use. They changed the design only slightly so it would chamber 7.92x57 in one model, then later 7.62x39 - the 'Hakim' and 'Rashid'.. Belgium also built a licensed modified version known as the 'FN49' chambering the 7.92x57.

Looking for the parent of all the above that was regular issue begining in 1942.

-will give answer tomorrow.. along with another trivia question..
