Probably Bohland and Fuchs - an anchor was their maker's mark. They were a Czech company that was taken over by the Communists (1948) along with all the others and merged to form Amati. Some manufacturers escaped abroad and started up manufacturing in other European cities. Bohland-Fuchs is now the name of the professional grade horns being produced by Amati in the Czech Republic.
