So close Axel on FN, but there wasn't any masking less it was Siemens & Halske rebadging Bayard receivers. The key/central figure here is Baptist Goeble, direktor at „Anciens Etablissements Pieper", subject to the Emperor of Germany & graduate of Charlottenburg, who circa 1905 picked up the pieces of H. Pieper & equipped AEP with the latest & greatest equipment such as Pratt & Whitney machines, etc. He worked a stint at Ludwig Loewe's firm before moving on the FN, where he was there for some 10 years. His connections & more than likely lower costs allowed AEP to secure contracts. I'm curious if he had affiliation with S&H?? I'd hazard a guess that Heinrich Krieghoff was serving a stint at AEP, or FN, when WWI broke out.
Let's say the monogram is a SK, so then who might be the owner?
