Wanted: Information about this D12 style microphone!

[rock soderstrom]

Hi guys, I have recently bought a lot of vintage gear. In a package of a Dynacord DRS78 and Echocord  Super 76 i found to my surprise two old microphones! They look  similar to AKG D12's.

Here are my questions:

- Do you know this kind of microphone?
- Is this a AKG D12 produced for a another brand like Dynacord or just a clone?
- My first test have showed that this microphone is pretty low output. Is this a 50 or 60 Ohm version?
- Do you know the logo on the microphone? Is this a Fischer and Harting microphone? I can't find nearly no information about this brand. 
- Where is it coming from? Germany?

Thanks!

Schumann (Germany) - if i remember correctly it was also sold under Dynacord and Ronette brands.
It has nothing to doo with D12.

If Merula then it had to be also as Ronette
