Need help identifying. It is not a Hammerli prototype Olympic 'free' Pistol .22

The German proof marks should put it between 1891-1912 (at least they say it isn't).

  Have seen a pistol, serial number 504,XXX, markings on it are CRD 7.65, the pistol is blued, has an eagle or other bird symbol on the right rear frame and the left front frame, on the right grip it has a large (1/2 inch or so) S with a superposed S with a small U in the middle. Supposedly brought back from Germany at the end of WWII, and resembles a Walther. Same size as a Russian Mochoroff (sp-1).
  No rust, pistol is tight.
  What is it? Manufacturer?
  General worth, is in good to excellent shape.

  The Sauer 38H was a very common souvenir of W W II.
  
  Does the pistol look like this.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I got this picture off of Pancho's excellent web-site.
