    I always thought this one was German, the wheel and treads match up with other examples I have. That's hardly anything to go on, looking back.

    I recently found another model from the maker that had an identical turret and similar embossed tools and details. More importantly, it was marked.

    Here's a picture so you can compare for yourself:
