David,
thanks for your suggestions, but - like Yves (I'm relieved to say) - I can't seem to find viewable samples of the fonts you mentioned anywhere.

I don't find your B anywhere. The general letterforms of your other characters are present in Jeff Jackson's JGJ D

Hadj,
ok. now it is more clear.
we are talking about 1882.
And we are talking about Germany. the Gothics - and not the Roman typefaces - of various-various kinds remained the everyday types for nearly Five centuries.
maybe it's a custom logo. maybe.
anyway-
if you are in Germany look for Julius Hoffmann and Klingspor type foundry
