Dutch WWII Museum

In a recent episode of Rick Steves Travels to Europe on public TV he visited a WWII Museum in the Netherlands where there was an exhibit of Dutch resistance artifacts. There was a quick shot of an open wooden box containing a Luger and a small semi-automatic pistol that looked the worst for wear. The Luger appeared to have ivory grip panels which seem odd to me for a WWII military Luger. There was no explanation as to the origin of the pistols or how they were related to the Dutch resistance forces. Did the Germans carry ivory stocked Lugers?
