    Gary this reminded me of a Polschröder or Ostertag-Werke but I don't think it's either. Both made similar very heavy safes with those puny looking hinges and Ostertag sometimes fitted round handwheels too,, but the handle on that one is particularly distinctive as the spokes project slightly around the outside- not a common feature unless it's a proper capstan type on which they of course project much further.

    Other makers like Garny, Lips and Troussellot also made similar but again there's clear differences there. Between the distinctive handwheel, hinges and even the door pull is quite unusual someone like Oliver I bet would have a good idea but shame he's hardly ever on here.

    Some of the earlier Polish Kasy pancernas are also very similar construction, hinges and handle and also had a double bitted kromer-lookalike lock. More I think about it,, even SJ Arnheim made something similar with those puny hinges but think they always had distinctive brass 'T' handles.
