Ron,
So far I have worked through the first two volumes of Görtz - Sturgess masterwork. I believe that the Riff contract is not mentioned. It might be discussed in Volume III, but this last part of the book merely describes the accessories of the Parabellum pistol.
The "August Weiss Files" I refer to in our book were given to me by Prof. Dr. Rolf Gminder. He received them from August Weiss, a few months before Mr. Weiss passed away in 1980. As Mr. Weiss had no notes about the Riff contract in his dairies, it might well be that Görtz - Sturgess did not have this information.
Best regards,
