Vickers Dutch contract

Mark, people who are familiar with luger machining methods, stamping, tooling, etc. have said for years that the Vickers lugers have enough unique features peculiar to them that DWM could not have manufactured them, especially with the frame, grip safety, and other parts. This being said, there has never, to my knowledge, been any authentic documents that have proved this point. It's kind of frustrating as the Vickers factory escaped mass destruction during WW2 and such records should have been preserved, but alas, none have turned up to date. If SimpsonLTD, in their description of a Vickers luger for sale, know of such a document, then would they please shed light on it for the rest of the collecting community!
