George,
I would be careful making cartridges for this pistol since Gussstahl means CAST steel!!.
I don't know the dimensions of your cylinder, but if it is like the Montenegrin revolver, I understand cases can be made out of modified 45 - 70 brass using a .445 dia. lead bullet of 282 - 313 grains. You should slug the barrel to come up with a bore diameter. If a true 11mm, You could use .429 dia lead bullets and possibly shorter 44 mag cases. Black powder would be the choice!! Cartridges are in the collector realm, so you should be prepared to experiment!! Hope this helps a little.
