My bad. I had originally thought it was RECORD, but after disassembly, 
found that a washer had been obscuring two characters.
But I misreported. It's KIRECORD in what Albertans would call a lazy 
diamond.

Google was no help with that either. I couldn't find it in John Walter's 
listings. Ditto German patent & trademark office.
I'm unable to connect to holzwerken.de this evening. Will try again 
tomorrow.

My excuse is that I have managed to catch me a head cold.

Nullius in verba  ( Take nobody’s word. )
motto of the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge

“The information we consume matters just as much as the food we put in our body.
It affects our
thinking, our behavior, how we understand our place in the world. And how we
understand others.” — Evan Williams
