I'm sorry to say that the description of these is so vague it would be hard to put a definite model number on them. There could be a lot of speculation on what they "Might Be", but to put a positive ID would not be possible. Maybe if someone has the time and a serial number database available they might get a couple. But .25 cal auto, Rev cal 6.35, SS 7.65. There just is not enough info given to ID. Especially considering they used foreign and domestic weapons.
What I find a bit odd is the use of Cal vs mm in the case of the 25 Cal. which is 6.35 mm.
You might also want to post this in the firearm section so the true gun enthusiast will see it
Good luck!

Some info on Walther serial numbers here
Click on the table on this page
Pistols of the German Wehrmacht
I think a PP and a PPK are listed on your document. Numbers with P and K respectively.
The Mauser serial 934549 could be a HSc - the serials went up to 952000.
Mauser Pocket Pistols
I may be entirely wrong - a semi educated guess !

Thanks Richie B. Any idea what the "SS" could be?

Sauer and Sohn ? Grip had SS on them...38H in 32acp?
I think the person who fills out the form probably doesn't know weapons well, why you have both 25 cal and 6.35, they write whatever is on the pistol.

the Rev Cal 6.35 is confusing one.
Rev=Revolver? Not common in this caliber!

Thanks for this information, very cool. I am trying to learn more about and WWI and WWII military pistols in general, as my dad collected several and left them to me. No pocket pistols, however. Thanks again for your help.
