lol, I know the problem.

Well, Luger had his own development shop and quite a bit of autonomy so I can live with the idea that the initial series was knocked off at the development department (which is not uncommon). Luger and Borchardt had a good relationship, although there was a share of professional disputes now and again. They lived near each other, probably took the same tram to the company, were members of the same shooting club and visited each other on a regular basis (as did their widows after the men had died), so one of them doing something without the other one knowing about it seems doubtful.
