..DWM to Mauser - reason ?..

After WW1, the Allies wanted to disarm Germany and part of that was disassembling their major production plants at DWM and Erfurt. DWM had made its living off of military contracts so they sold all their inventory as commercial model pistols to remain solvent through the 20's and then sold their equipment to Mauser. Basically boils down to French greed and the Mausers having very popular acclaim around the world for hunting as well as military rifles.
