Luger factory tooling lineage
 

I know this has been brought up before but I can’t seem to find any of the past posts. I’m trying to confirm what factories obtained tooling to build Lugers and from what factory they came from. I know Erfurt-Simson-Kreighoff-then to an East German manufacturer. DWM to Mauser and the Vickers tooling was parted out to various manufacturers in Poland. What became of the W+F Bern tooling? This is a pretty simple list and I bet I left out a few things so any clarification would be appreciated.
Thanks again

The Bern tooling was returned to Switzerland a few years ago.
It is now at a Swiss military museum.

Mauser bought it in the late 1960s, dumped it as scrap metal around 2000. It was saved by a former Mauser engineer and rediscovered and subsequently sold to a Belgian collector, then finally sold back to Switzerland.

Some jigs and gauges of the incomplete second set were sold to other collectors.

I can't imagine 'dumping' it as scrape but thank god for enlightened Mauser engineer's :thumbup:
