Unfortunately, there is no concise answer. The chromed fork was dropped in different years, depending on the exact model. Sometimes, it even came back after an absence.
Miele was well respected and considered good value during the late 1980's. They reorganized the company in the early 1990's after some financial difficulty but lost some of their reputation. BTW, the pictures confirm my 1987 assessment. Your colour is called Icy Pink.
