think its not made by Hansen/Hamburg but for Hansen in Suhl looking on the octagonal to round barrel.

Hansen was the retailer. Christian Hansen ran the gunshop at Hermannstrasse 35, Hamburg, from 1910 to 1919 only. The rifle was almost certainly made "for the trade" by the August Schüler company, Roschstr.13, Suhl, from 1912 on run by Richard Schüler (grandson of A.), the designer of the cartridge. Burgsmueller too bought in "his" heavy big game rifles from the A. Schüler company.
