It's police unit of an eastern province in China, equivalent of New Hampshire's "state trooper", so it's a regional level unit. Those pistols were their service pistols in the past, and have been in storage for more than two decades. The initial plan was to destroy them, but the officer in picture happens to be a firearm enthusiast, he made a request to keep this pistols "in memorial of man and woman's service in the unit". The request was approved, so he kept those C&R.

With all those different calibers, ammo supply could be an issue,,, he did show a picture of large number boxes of DWM and FN ammo, but I lost the picture. If I remembered right, the pistols of this police unit were almost all foreign-made guns, but they don't have any genuine FN 1900 -- all 1900 were copies. I guess the reason being original FN 1900 must be submitted to higher level (higher rank officials' favorite, a smaller gun), they could not keep them. But they do have quite a few copies, large and small variations.
