Bill,
Thank you so much for your knowledgable insights, I have long wondered about the origin of this model. I was clear that it was not an attempt to deceive, as it bears no false Allach markings.
As you suggest, and now you have given me such a valuable lead, I will start a research project. The name Franz Nagy is familiar to me from my reading of histories of the SS Porzellan - Manufaktur Allach, but I failed to decipher it on the base of the figure. The firm of Otto Birk was completly unknown to me.
As a first step I will consult an accredited porcelain restorer to ascertain if the plate obscuring the name might be safely removed without damage, so as to reveal the name in full.
Any results I may obtain I will post on this forum.
Bill, many thanks.
Barry
