I would guess Haid & Neu was the manufacturer.
The brass "Mercury" badge was probably the importer

The key unique elements that need to be accounted for are:
Two spool pins (usually on imports)
Two spool pins placed FAR apart. (unique)
The extra metal on the lower 4/5th of the serial number plate (most were simple flattened ovals)

Here are two examples off the top.

Here the one that is called "Faudels" (made by Haid & Neu)
