There are a few German sites about Eisenwerke Gaggenau and it is interesting to notice the change in the name of the factory:

Firmenname: „Korwan und Flürscheim Eisenwerke Gaggenau bei Rastatt“ (vormals Louis Görger)


Do you remeber where the Diana (Mayer und Grammelspacher) factory was located? in Rastatt!
It seems very likely MGR bought the forged/cast parts from EG in rough form to create their own GEM?
A few years later the EG factory got a new name:

1880 Theodor Bergmann, ein Herdfabrikant aus Konstanz, tritt in die Firma ein.

Emailierwerk, Stanzerei, Vernickelungsanstalt, Buchdruckerei, Schreinerei und Kunstgießerei werden eingerichtet. Neues Produkt: Badenia-Fahrräder

150 Mitarbeiter

1884 Bergmann wird Teilhaber. Firmenname: „Eisenwerke Gaggenau, Flürscheim und Bergmann“


So there is the connection with the Bergmann marked GEM's.

The Jean Marck GEM's are different in construction and (in my opinion) made by a Belgium? factory.

Hi Frank

Again, very interesting, just been reading about the connections between Oscar will, Diana/MGR and Langenhahn too... (I always spell his name wrong!...argh!...)

The Jean Marck guns were made in their own factory in the gun quarter of Liege, Belgium.
