A Brief History of the Marque
The German firm built motorcycles using singles and twins from Zedel and Fafnir.
Tragatsch gives manufacturing dates of 1901~1907, but notes on a machine at the PS-Speicher Museum indicate 1903-1912. [1]
There is also a Czech Torpedo built around the same time - see Torpedo Marques
Sources: Tragatsch p284, Michael Zacher
N.B. 1. The machine at PS-Speicher is believed to be a Czech Torpedo.
