Anton Born 1694, died 1786. Stainer/Amati form. Fine work with golden-brown varnish and good materials. Anton Reif in Vils / im Tyroll / 1733

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Er kommt den besseren Füssener und Mittenwalder Meistern sehr nahe; nur sein Lack ist recht dürftig. Übrigens soll ein Antoni R. in Vils bereits um 1722 vorkommen.
