Framus
Made by Framus after WWII in Bavaria West Germany where they moved to from the German Czech border. You can Google their history.
A bass like this was about $200 in the 1960s so its ok. Same grade bass as those made for and imported by Juzek in New York. Edge repairs expertly done is difficult but worth it. Anything less and the value goes down.
There seems to be another label under the Framus label. If and when the bass is taken apart to be repaired, then maybe they can lift and separate both labels. This bass is still a factory German bass regardless of what else you find inside. Framus (Franconian Music etc) was formed in Germany by Fred Wilfer.
