I'll be back.

Rubner is different usually. Possibly Lang or Wilfer. Saxon and Shoenbach basses can be made by the same shops in whole or in part. There are other bass makers in the area that period but the back design is not Rubner, Lang or Wilfer. Also, the chippy varnish is cheap factory work. The angled round back is nice as are the gears.
