That's a real beast.
No idea about the maker. The layout reminds (faintly) of a French Radiguet, but my gut feeling says that this is a very professionally made "home built" engine.
Hallo Thomas - thanks for your replay - I am now pretty sure that it is a French Radiguet
I have checked the website of Historytoy - and the engines are exactly the same...
As soon as I can get it - I will know more

Arnold:
Do you have the book, "Radiguet et Fils", By Frederic Marchand?
It is a beautiful book. I highly recommend it.
Here is a scan of the closest vertical engine in the book:
(Attachment Link)
A lot of jewelry has been added (and very tastefully In My Humble Opinion).
The Radiguet Book does not have any pictures of their engines with a governor.
Here is a video from another Forum Member of his large Malette and Parent that has some similarities (and some differences)?
Regards,
Charlie
Hello Charlie - thank you very much for your detective work
I guess it's the model Hermann Lachapelle - there are many
Similarities. As soon as I can buy this motor (hopefully)
I will report and take some special photos.
