Krmes would have placed an order w/ a concern either in Suhl, Zella-Mehlis or Liege and then they more than likely applied his name. Krmes' shop would have performed some repairs and scope mounting, etc.
The example is mixed in time w/ the proofmarks. It has an early DRGM Nr. and a voluntary proof load stamp, both which were prior to 1911. Odd why some 20 years later one would still apply the DRGM number. It is possible it could have been completed at the cusp of the rules change in 1911/1912, but not much later.
