It's hard to tell from that extreme angle, but it looks like it could be a Browning Hi-Power/FN GP 35 (or at least based on one), which would totally be period-correct (although it looks like this one is in stainless steel, which is not—it might be nickel-plated, though, which would be).

He actually has a service pistol at the SDM already, a Liberion Army M1911A1. He had it with him on his shopping trip to Colmar, and it's been hanging on the back of a chair by the fireplace in Remi's bedroom ever since. Total Chekhov's Gun violation. :)
