Vickers Lugers delivered to the Dutch serial numbering picked up sequentially after the last pre-1914 DWM Dutch contract. So the 6000 Vickers Lugers delivered to the Dutch run from serial number 4182 to 10181. Numbers above that range would not be part of the Dutch contract. In "The Dutch Luger" by Martens and de Vries, the existence of what they term "Commercial Vickers Lugers" is documented with two known examples #10182 and #10206. So they estimate that a possible range of serial numbers for this variation might be 10182 to 10210.
