I'm obsessed with this machine. I've found some information about a Bell Messerschmitt sewing machine which is a very similar design to this "Capri." Does anyone have information on the Bell Messerschmitt? The Messerschmitt name, I assume, is German but my machine definitely says made in Japan. Did the Japanese copy the German machines after WWII like they did the Singer? I am a camera buff and know the Japanese copied the Contax (Nikon) and Leica (Canon) cameras. So I have to assume they also copied the sewing machines. TIA for any information.
