This company also made barrels for DWM a bit before WWI started to supplement supplies during shortages...so can also be considered a subcontractor to DWM (per J. Walter, TLS, page 66). These are usually stamped "Bo26", etc...

I would think such barrels on such pre-WWI lugers may be considered "original"...???

Not sure when the barrels marked as "Bohler Stahl made in Austria" were made/issued. Maybe those are re-barrel parts from a later period in the 1920's or 1930's...???
