Just to sum up & maybe complicate things a bit more, but WWI had a huge impact w/ the Loss of Life of Suhl & Z-M mechanics. So, as typical with a conflict, weapons technology was advanced & mechanization was further embraced. Too, times went from very difficult to a bit of relief by 1924, which well could be the pinnacle of the Good Times, straightaway headed to most difficult times some 1/2 decade forward. Heinrich Kreighoff has acquired Val Chr. Schilling's formidable shop and Ludwig Kreighoff has made his last file stroke by 1924. Also, all the Daly principles are gone and Charles Daly sourcing lines were severed during WWI in addition to the loss of Ernst Lindner in fierce fighting w/ the Brits. Last, tubeset knitter Robert Schlegelmilch made his final stroke in 1924, so the whole lot is in uncharted territory and someone in the U.S of A. is trying to pick up the pieces to make a little cash.
Anyway, it would seem that Heinrich Kreighoff continued to fill orders to subcontractors to the Val. Chr. Schilling concern and the frame and the tubes of the subject longarm just about had to originate w/ Heinrich Kreighoff???? Subcontractors w/ dependent on the equipment of Val. Chr. Schilling to fill their orders and Heinrich Kreighoff continued the process.
