Eugene, DWM and Erfurt stopped manufacturing Lugers then. Roughly, DWM was re-structured to become BKIW, and Erfurt tooling was taken over post-WWI by Simson. Thus, the "original" manufacturers were supplanted by different entities. This is why some consider everything made afterward to be reproductions!
