The DWM factory had a large shareholding in the FN factory, around 80%.

During the imperial era, there were two triads between England, France and Russia and the other Germany, Austria and Italy. The kaiser who had influence over his allies did not necessarily want his national arms industries to conduct business directly with Russia, instead he gave special permission to an important factory such as DWM to use their shareholding to conduct limited business with the Russians like hiding behind a screen. Commercial Lugers were sold by a few dealers in Russia, like Mauser C96 pistol being sold by English dealers such as Westley Richards and Cogswell & Harrison. English dealers also marketed these firearms to other dealers in colonial countries such as South Africa.

The national business relationships during the early imperial era was quite interesting.
