Greetings everyone... Would any one happen too have scans of service manual for Claes 8345/43 (either rebrandet Pfaff 9345/9346, Metro Spezial 8345/8346, textima 8345/8346)? Already got the manual + part list for 8346 and part list for 8345 from Claes. So no need to link me to their homepage. Any other scans would be nice to have(nice to have, not need to have)

Ooh...Hopefully some one else will continue. Forgot to say with the Emblem´s. They all look similar! What you need to look for is what is in the crest. ...S with a D in the top of the crest (Carl Schmidt & Nikolaus Dürkopp). ...S in the crest (Carl Schmidt). ...C & H (Carl Schmidt & Hengstenberg). Now who have what patent on the machines...Not sure

It´s an Anker Werke. Picture with the smoking chimneys are Anker Werke in Bielefeld (Hugo Hengstenberg & Carl Schmidt). Hence the C&H in the logo...

Hugo Hengstenberg leather patcher You will find logo That will look the same. Some with D & S or S & H or just the D or H. Carl Schmidt & Nikolaus Dürkopp started out together after they left Carl Baer & Heinrich Koch and designed their own machines. Later on Carl Schmidt left Nikolaus Dürkopp and worked with Hugo Hengstenberg. And finally Carl Schmidt left Hengstenberg to work for Singer company. Confusing ? Baer & Rempel (Phoenix), Koch & Co, Dürkopp & Schmidt, Dürkopp, C Schmidt, C Schmidt & Hengstenberg and finally Hengstenberg & CO (later changed to Anker-Werke AG), Dürkopp & Adler. It all started in Bielefeld... Sole survivor today is Dürkopp. I do stand corrected if any one else jumps in here.

You will find logo That will look the same. Some with D & S or S & H or just the D. The reason for the S & D is because Carl Schmidt & Nikolaus Dürkopp started out together after they left Carl Baer & Heinrich Koch and designed their own machines. Later on Carl Schmidt left Nikolaus Dürkopp and worked with Hengstenberg. And finally Carl Schmidt left Hengstenberg to work for Singer company. Confusing ? Koch & Co, Dürkopp & Schmidt, Dürkopp, C Schmidt & Hengstenberg and finally Dürkopp & Adler. It all started in Bielefeld.

Not sure what the end of the story is. But what i can tell you guys! Is that it´s an Dürkopp and Schmidt logo pre 1860`ìsh.
