Extract :
« The Model 1929 is essentially a Model 1930 with a few changes that were requested by the Dutch police and military (see the Model 1930 below for its design features).
The Dutch police specifically requested that the trigger for their guns retain the functionality of the Model 1913, wherein the trigger remains flat in the back of the trigger guard until the gun is cocked, when it springs forward.
The Dutch pistols also have a cocking indicator on the back of the gun--a small pin protrudes from the center of the end cap when the gun is cocked.
They also required an extra screw and coil spring at the bottom of the rear grip-strap, to put additional pressure on the magazine latch.
The Model 1929 has fine lines engraved on the top of the slide to reduce glare, with a JOH. MUNTS - AMSTERDAM inscription in a narrow recess. Johan Munts was the Dutch importer.
The Model 1929 does not have a magazine safety.
The police model usually has a lanyard near the bottom of the left-side grip, with a cutout at the base of the grip plate to allow for it, and the grip plates are normally black, but are sometimes seen in green with a wood-grain effect.
The Dutch government was purchasing Sauer Model 29 pistols for different agencies such as the Dutch Navy, S.M.N. (Steam Ships Netherlands), D.v.F. (Department of Finance), etc.
These guns are quite rare. »
