Only if the could talk,

I seem to remember a thread that discussed these guns--their block-style font upper case B suffix, their GL monogram, their commercial-style serial range... Too worn out at the moment to even try to look it up. I hope someone remembers the thread and its pertinent info.

*edit* 10100B and 10085B are listed in Dwight's Commercial Data Base. 10055B is not. Your 10085B is listed as .30 Luger, so something is up... There's an association with Dutch Trials proffered.
