eBay concertina maker?

While looking for something else (I swear! 🙂) I stumbled across this:

Obviously in rough shape. After looking at a bunch of photos of concertinas, I haven’t spotted one like this, however. I kind of like the embossed wooden parts. It looks like it might have been nice once upon a time. Any idea of the maker?

It's German - probably late 19th or early 20th century.  There were a number of German concertina brands in that era and I don't know if there's any way to identify one without a maker's name on the instrument.  Stephen Chambers might have more to say if he's inclined to comment.

Thank you for the information!
