Did the Germans deploy captured Greek (FN) Mausers?

Like the title says.
Other countries' weapons were widely used, but have any of you ever come across a demonstrably Greek Mauser rifle that can be shown to have been redeployed by Germany? A Google search didn't turn up anything for me, and I've never heard of/seen one. If they went through a depot, I'd assume they went through Ingolstadt, correct?

yep

I had a bringback fn made mod30 I think it was called.. It had a story only but no paperwork.. It was in premo shape and I flipped it for a few bucks..

Was it a 'standard' FN 1930, or a Greek contract 1930?

That sure would be a Greek contract rifle, then. Nice grab, and great flip!

Anyone else seen any of these around?
