Hi Bruno, your drill looks wonderful. Who is the manufacturer?
It's a shame about the handle. What happened to it?

The one you missed, goodness, I imagine drilling away and being cracked 
in the head!
 From the body casting it looks very much like mine which is made by Fr. 
Eduard Engels, though mine has the safety option of a flywheeel at the top.
Oh, I see I picked it up in Jan 2006 and the photos were in the old 
galoot image central before it was hacked. I need to dig up the photos 
and put them up again.
