Note:
 
Reiger and Fiorini were flourishing between circa 1889 to 1912 and a little beyond.  It was created by Giuseppe Fiorini, one of the great late nineteeenth century Italian makers, when he moved to Munich in Germany.  Andreas P Rieger, an extrememly fine maker in his own right, became his partner as well as his father-in-law.  Thus, the famous workshop of Rieger & Fiorini was created.
