Re: German pre 1913 Proof Marks

From the marks it appears it(maybe just the action) was proofed in Suhl prior to the change in the proof rules in 1912 and then again about that time or a little later before the September 1923 dating scheme, but I don't see a Crown over R so there may have been some rebarrel effort post 1912. I see the pre-rifled diameter in mm so that couples well with the Nitro proof post 1912. Not sure on the script E 3 B, maybe a EB the 3rd from a 3rd generation of mechanics. But from the effort on the tube, I'd say Robert Schlegelmilch is the holder of the encirced RS. Are there any pre-1910 plug gauge diameter type stamps?

Kind Regards,
