Kreighoff is a good guess with Röchling Steel.

I am not sure the year, but post WWI Simson had a monopoly in the Weimar Republic and I am not sure what the date was when other makers joined in the fray for funds.

Yes, from 1924 for 5(five) years the Weimar Republic saw a boom and it was referred to as the >>Golden Twenties<< but what about from 1923 - 1924? Still a big puzzle but the answers may lie with the Suhl Proof Facility? If the records exist for this period, the subject Daly 20 bore would be an easy search.
