Considering that the town of Berchtesgaden was reserved for top nazis, (the population had all been screened and many moved out forcefully when Hitler decided this would be his alpine retreat), it would not be far fetched to suppose that this is a private maker to the nazi elite. This could only have been a private purchase for top brass who liked to set themselves above standard equipment. The date 1943 re enforces this
A very interesting find
