The number >>231<< looks to be the serial nummer of the actual maker....

Red encircled touchmarks are the original 1912-1914/1915 proof effort.

Yellow encircled touchmarks are those of a Re-Proof effort - not sure of this date? Possible between 1914/1915 & 1923??

Blue encircled touchmarks are those of München.

There is ones more number on the extractors on barrel sets Nr. 286 and the München proof marks. That's why I thought that 491 is serial number, 231 is first proof date, 139 repair proof date and 286 München proof date. But that was my amateur guess :-))

Too there are some worn marks here. Looks like a bunch of Chicken Scratching, but it is all German Chicken Scratching......

I am still puzzled why there isn't a date associated with the last proof effort.

Wolfgang might well have known them....

The following entry can be found in the Bonn address book of 1902:


Ahl
Vorname Andreas August
Beruf Büchsenmachermeister. Gewehrfabrik. Handlung in Waffen, Munition u. Jagdartikeln.
Adresse Poststr. 15
Ort Bonn


Ahl
First name Andreas August
Profession master gunsmith. Gun factory. Dealer in weapons, ammunition and hunting articles.
Address Poststr. 15
Place Bonn

Unfortunately I can't find a connection to Reeb...

Waidmannsheil, Wolfgang
