It's a relatively complicated story. The patent was issued by Mauser, and it's called "Mauser Pistol". In 1960s, Belford and Dunlap published the first collector book in this domain. They referred words from former Mauser manager, "Paul Mauser was very closely assisted by the three Feederle brothers on development of 7,63 pistol". In this description, Mauser was still the main inventor, but he was "assisted by ...". Feederle Brothers played assistant role. Feederle's son's statement was more straight forward, probably due to he's less diplomatic on this, "Among Mauser workers, this pistol is still referred to as Feederle Pistol"..... Expressed in this way, then,,,, different story.

The forward placed feeding system is almost a miniature version of Mauser rifle. There is no doubt on Mauser's contribution on this gun. But, who designed that screwless lock frame is still a myth, and who designed that bolt lock is unclear.
