Hand grinder ID

[civ]

Hello:

I have come across this grinder recently (only this photo).
After having looked at a great many photos here on the forum and on the web, I have not been able to identify it.

Unfortunately, I have no way to see it 'in person' so to speak and apparently it has no markings to indicate origin or make.

I can (with un-certain confidence) say that it's not a Zassenhaus or a PD: the adjustment knob seems to be different.



Anyone have any idea about it or seen anything similar?

Thanks in advance,

CIV

I have one that I would say is exactly like this, unfortunately I am on the road for business and I don't have a photo of it on this computer. Mine has had the label removed from the front, so no help there, IIRC the bottom says "made in Western Germany", no other markings including on the handle. The adjustment is by star on the top, not internal, and is very large between steps, it does do an excellent job though in one of its positions. My guess is that if you got it you might have to shim the adjustment to get the right grind, you might luck out though. I got mine on Ebay and I think I paid $10 including shipping. hope this helps.

Hello Mandioca:

Thanks a lot for the data, it's of great help.
I have not seen this grinder 'in person' yet but it seems that it does not have a label either.

Best regards,
