I agree with Gerben that presentation pieces are always possible, or even self bought pistols, as that occured.

But, I would think that those that were captured (possibly 4,000 pieces, including some FN's and other pistols, and rifles), that these would be the most likely canidates. It would be interesting to see if the serial numbers are within acceptable ones bought by the Dutch? You may notice that neither of the guns pictured above are 1906 models, and the majority were of the grip safety models.
