I know more in-between.
It's being identified as a rather rare  Doll 346/1
And very early probably 1900-1910

But in this case, although it's a pristine engine, and thehnicly the German engines  are better executed, in the sense of maintenance friendly, and a more solid build.
The French Rossignol versions are in my view aesthetically more beautiful.
Here is one I restored about half a year ago…



I hope to own one day a Radiguet.
They are the cream in this type of engine.
Radiguet is such a pristine brand, wenn I look at their designs it almost if the bring  Jules Verne visions to life…

I also think that these engines as a pre war toy models, is one of the best imitation to an actual industrial one.
