Manufactured on contract for the Netherlands, many of these pistols would be used to arm the Dutch Navy and colonial forces between the World Wars. Fixed sights with a "1939" refurbish mark on the barrel, "crown/N" proofs on the barrel, extension, and breech block, and a conjoined "HLK" stamp on the right side of the chamber. The HLK mark is associated with pre-1928 colonial issue. The extractor is marked "GELADEN", with "RUST" over the safety lever and a brass panel with "H E" script initials on the left side of the frame. The replacement magazine is unnumbered, otherwise components are matching overall, including the grip panels.

Fine as arsenal refurbished, with 70% of the faded blue, showing bright edge wear, scattered handling marks, a few areas of gray and brown patina, and mild spotting. The brass plate appears to be a period, possibly arsenal replacement. 30% of the straw and niter blue color remains. The grips are also fine, with some dents and dark spots. Mechanically fine.
