Fuhrmann and 93mouse,

Thank you for your very interesting comments. I have not heard anyone say it might be "Jugendstil" or "art nouveau" before or as 93mouse said in the "Vienna/Munich secession style". By chance do either of you have an example of the aforementioned that you could show me? I would love to see one as the engraving on the subject Brenneke has been a mystery to my father and I for a long time.

Again, I thank you very much. I was hoping posting it on the NE forum would bring in some ideas and it has, excellent! My father, Mehul, and I were thinking it had a Middle Eastern influence. It’s all very very interesting.

Curl,

I've attached a few more pictures to provide more detail of the receiver.

Best regards,

Marcus
