Help identifying a handlebar logo
Hello everyone,
I am having trouble identifying a handlebar logo and I thought I could get some help from the forums.
I am trying to sell my 1980's Astra, which has aftermarket parts and I can't seem to remember the handlebar manufacturer. Currently the handlebar is covered in tape, and I don't want to remove the handlebar tape as I am planning on selling the bike.
The handlebars are drop style, black painted and made of aluminum. I am including a picture of a visible logo that I managed to take. Like I said, I don't remember the manufacturer, but I do remember seeing made in Germany somewhere.
Any help will be appreciated, thank you for your time.

I hope this doesn't come off poorly but regardless of aftermarket parts, it's still an 80's Astra with very limited appeal or collectibility factoring in. The type of handlebar will make zero difference in what you can sell the bike for. If for some reason you think the parts are worth something it would probably be better to strip them off an sell them separately. THat said, I don't know what type of handlebars those are.

I know. I have the original parts and I was planning on putting them back on. This is depending on if the parts that are on the bike currently are worth selling them separate, I don't want to end up with a bunch of things I cannot use after I get rid of the bike.
