Looks like a F&R but it could also be a Gritzner, or Anker, or.... These German imports were kind of like the Japanese Singer imports of the 1950's in that they are Singer 12 clones but done in High Arm format. Many were better than the original Singers that they were cloning.. (sound familiar, Singer never learns)

You should get that. Because if you do not I just might!!! hehehe Go for it!
I was *wondering* if the model 12 was cloned by a bunch of makers -- I think I read that somewhere (maybe Alex's page?) and then forgot! But the layout and design of the MOP inlay seems identical to the F&R on CL.

Steve, do you think that the Japanese 15 clones are better than the Singer 15?
