Identifying old (german?) lathe

[wemibo]

Hello.

Can you help me to identify my lathe (pictures attatched)?
No any info about brand, company, no signs on it. German language instructions on cover.

King regards.

Agree, probably german, though it can be hard to determine maker. Do you have pictures of the tailstock? That might help.

And then ??
If you know the maker ??

Oh, come on Peter from Holland. You care enough about the origin of things to put yours in your username.

Did you check out the links with the lathes made in Germany on Tony's site?

lathes.co.uk

There are several listed there so it may take some time to check them out.
There are threads on this forum about Fisher and Erlich machines that you can find in a forum search but I don't think it's one of them

thanks for answers.
1) tailstock - nothing special
2) I checked all germans, and about 50% others lathes on Tony's site. Fisher, Erlich - similiar, no the same
3) I would be fine to know brand, if I won't know - life must go on

Heh, how about a picture of the operator side of the tailstock, the one that would show in photos to compare to

Seriously though, I do find it interesting that they copied the LeBlond screwcutting gearbox pretty closely, even down the four screws in the corners.
