Neuner & Hornsteiner, A. Meyer and J. Rubner have been mentioned as possible builders of my bass.
I find the design of the plates on the scroll interesting, and thought that they might be a trademark design of a certain builder...? Would be fun if anybody recognized the design.
Thanks for your help.

Those plates are just a design I have seen on various basses and I don't know if they are original to the bass. I doubt it can ID the actual shop or maker but it is possible.
I looked at my email pics of the Zimmerman bass and the body is like yours and the Braun/N-H style bass. The Gears are Mittenwald style single gears as on the H-N basses of 1900. The outer linings are also different on the Zimmerman but who knows from bass to bass, year to year, decade to decade what each maker does. Things change sometimes. Enjoy your new bass.
