Power Scraper Identification

[Richard King]

Got a bit worried, not wanting to violate the rules, but if OK, here it is
http://www.lathes.co.uk/advertphoto/130911scraper/
The person who owns says he has been using it in his professional career for decades, so I guess this is a real tool. I wonder where he was working... could be interesting if some of you UK folks found out.. and paid him a visit. He must have a wealth of information he might be wiling to share with you/us hobbyists..

It looks like it was used a lot so thats a good sign that it might work. The guy says he used it for 30 years. I have never seen one before. It seems a bit high, what is that in USD about $500.00? They sell the old Blue Biax's on Ebay for about that or lower. The blade is ground good it looks like a 60 mm R
Thanks for sharing!
I have been told by a seniior moderator that Lathes UK is on the list of OK to post. Rich

Hi Everybody,

newbie writing here. I am posting on this old thread since i have just bought the same (or at least looks very very similar) Bosch power-scraper and wanted to try to find some more info about that (hopefully is not against the rules of the forum, if that's the case, will delete).
It is in working condition but, as the one from the original post, it looks like it's been very well used and most of the tags are faded away...
Hope somebody will know something more!
Thanks in advance for your help and excuse my bad english, i am writing form Italy.

Attached are some pictures of it:
