Mike, I see your point.
However, it is also known that inspectors have been transfered to other manufacturers and thus one can find the same WaA stamp on items of different makers.

I already considered that and if you look at the code list , you can actually track a single inspector as he moved from place to place (since he took his # with him). Look at Code #47 ..that guy worked at 3 different Factories.
The 815 Code on your Set doesn't seem to have ever been used by anyone else ...only at AESCULAP.
As far as the stamp ...I've seen some Tiny ones so , they didn't have one size for everything ..I think they would have made a special tiny stamp for him so the "Inspector" would not be defacing or damaging the final product. You know how anal they were when it came to quality.
I bet if you contacted the AESCULAP and provided them a few pictures of the set , they'd be able to tell you when it was made and remove any doubt. They have a Museum so it might be worth a shot
