Here's a BüHag Kerner-Anson platform from 1962 that more than likely would be stout. I have serious reservations that it passed thru Merkel hands. More than likely it was retailed by Kettner. Also, the name H. Kessel in Heidersbach near Suhl and all those numbers are numbers are probably for some export effort. I'll try to lift some fotos.

Hochachtungsvoll,
