In my often disregarded opinion, this is not a German made gun; rather, I believe it is a Belgian gun, marketed in Germany. The term "Brevette" would be used in Belgium(or France), not likely in Germany. The gun pre-dates the German 1891 proof law, so this would be the top end of any estimated date of manufacture.
