Without some pictures, it's going to be hard to identify for sure. Beyond my capability, at least.
Gil is correct that the 7.65 marking would indicate it's chambered for the 32 ACP cartridge.
The Mauser Hsc is a good guess, too. The Walther PP was also widely issued in 32 ACP, but I don't know if they were ever made in the Mauser factory.
The German army used a whole bunch of handguns- whatever they could lay their hands on, so that makes it a bit hard to be sure of the model without a picture.
