LuWe from Freiburg im Breisgau?

Yes, locked for you to find the model.

I was afraid that you were going to ask for a model designation, so I went looking in advance. Unfortunately I have been unable to find either a model or horsepower designation. I was able to find that there were at least two models designated by engine displacement. The larger used a 12 liter aircraft engine sleeved down 6000 cc, while the smaller used a 600 cc, 2 cylinder boxer engine. Looking at the puzzle picture the former appears too large to fit, while the latter seems a bit small for the chassis. In the absence of any other evidence, I will say that this is a 600 cc LuWe circa 1923.

It is neither of those two. The info is available on the net, though not easy to find. I will keep this one locked for you for a while.

After three days and many hours of digging I have drawn a blank regarding technical information on the LuWe, other than that already posted. Since I have exhausted all known possibilities I'm going to have to make a slightly educated guess based on the puzzle picture, and contemporary offerings. The frame shown in the picture appears appropriate for about a 1.0 to 1.2 liter power plant which, depending on rating RPM, would yield a horsepower of about 18-20. If my estimate of 1923 is in the ballpark, this would be comparable to a number of contemporary offerings. Therefore I'll say: LuWe 5/20 PS circa 1923.

Sorry, it is much bigger than 5/20 PS.

Unlocked and open for all.

Close, 50 PS is correct, the 12 isn't.
