The Fortuna-marked guns (East German Sauers) were made at VEB Ernst Thalmann Werk. The sale of those guns, along with other East German-made shotguns (like Buhag and Merkel) was handled by Deutscher Innen & Aussenhandel. I expect one of those names is the conglomerate you were looking for.

Last year at the Louisville show, a dealer I've done business with had a Geco 16 ga. boxlock with the cross bolt. Asking i think 350.00. I didn't buy it, but i think i should have. Would have been a good donor for a double rifle conversion.

GECO was (at one point) based in Durlach, aka Karlsruhe, which I believe was not in East Germany but close to France.
