Quite a find. But it is a DR on Schüler's Herkules patent.

no, Schüler made it and Vandrey only sold it. look at the small box with "A. Schüler Suhl" engraved on top.
my friend also found the Schüler records in the possession of a document collector here and the DR is there.
made in 1910 for Vandrey

I agree 100% and the document even makes it more interesting. Any chance of an image of the 1910 document?
Kind Regards,
