I don't know if Nuremberg is widely known across america, it's located in Bavaria, maybe you know about it as the nazi trials took place there.
www.velo-classic.de sells repro-decals for this brand, maybe they even have brochures of this brand (dont know as they don't list all of their stuff in the catalogue)
hth, Bavarese.
I gathered that it was of German origin, I have found out that the company ceased operations in 1959 and that this model was probably produced between '55 and '58. I used a translation website that told me that berufsfahrer meant "professional driver". This seems like quite a rare find here in the States and it's fun trying to dig up info. Thanks for your response.
