Lathe brand?

[caseback]

The lathe I have been using so far, is a 8mm geneva style lathe with the flat side of the bar facing you if you have the headstock on your left. The steel spindle is running in bronze and it has a ball bearing as well. There are no makers marks on the main components (which have a black wrinkle finish paint). The collets in the set that came with the lathe are made by Leinen, Wolf & Jahn and Lorch.

Does anyone know who made this lathe? It looks a lot like the 6mm Wolf & Jahn I have, but that has the flat side of the bar facing away from the user and doesn't have a ball bearing..

Looks like the Danish made Wiskum. Apparently Lorch tailstocks work with it.

Thanks @nickelsilver. You sure know your lathes! The headstock body of my lathe does not have the Wiskum name on it, but apart from that it is identical.
