Sorry, Raimey, but your last post is completely wrong, from start to stop. Have a look at the 1910/11 catalog of F.Jäger & Co., reprint available from the GGCA bookstore, order # R013,

On the top left of the cover you may read: "Herold" / Eingetragene Schutzmarke. If this is not to be translated to "registered trademark", my German is even worse than my English. Further down in the same column you read: Telegramm-Adresse HEROLD-SUHL. For example on page 32 you find the "Herold-Büchse", a single barrel break open stalking rifle.
Carl Bittiner did not return, if he ever had been there, to Suhl and he was not a partner in the F.Jäger & Co. company. He staied in Liege. According to the book by Gadisseur & Druart: "Le Qui est Qui de l'Armurerie liegeoise" he returned from New York to Liege in 1902. His Liege addresses were:
1904-1905 rue des Premontres 28, 1906 rue Vivegnis and in 1907 rue Morinval 24. Rue Morinval 24 was the address of Paul Scholberg, holder of the "Record" trademark.
According to H.J. Fritze's book: "Suhl - Heimat der Büchsenmacher" Franz Jaeger returned to Europe in 1902, first to Liege also, but in 1903 he settled in Suhl. From 1907 on he took in a business partner with some money, a pharmacist from Jena named Ewald Lüdecke. This is the "Co." in Franz Jaeger & Co.
