Dutch Lugers were contract purchases by the government. There was no "officer procurement" as there were no non-contract Dutch Lugers to be procured. Officer issue Lugers were distinguished by the lack of a brass unit identification plate or an unmarked brass plate.
If you recall, I indicated that the Vickers contract was for the East Indies, where certainly the spring clip magazine was issued/utilized.
Do a search on some of the on-line booksellers, I am sure you can turn one up. I found one for $49.95 brand new on the first site I looked at (Ray Riling Arms Books). If you like Lugers, the book is good reading since it also has quite a bit of information about early Luger development and history.
