Holland: The Dutch government placed its first order for Model 1922 pistols in October 1924. The 2,000 7.65mm pistols in this shipment received the Dutch designation Pistool M25 No.1, and was intended for issue to two different law enforcement agencies. The Koninklijke Marechaussee, or Royal Military Constabulary, received approximately 1,200 pistols from this order, while the Politie Troepen, or Police Troops, received the remaining 800. In the following year the Dutch expanded issue of the M1922 to machine gun crews. The M1922's issued to the Dutch Army were known as Pistool M25 No.2, the designation differing as the army guns were chambered for the 9mm Browning Short instead of 7.65mm. Serialization of the M25 No.2 started at 3000, with the first order of 2,000 pistols being shipped in April 1926. Military orders continued
until the German invasion in 1940:

Try oil on the metal and don't store it in the holster. Actually pretty far gone finish wise.
Don't try to clean it off or try to remove the rust. Just oil it. It will look a lot better.
