I have a bench vise that I really like and am hoping to be able to
find another one of the same type:-

It has initials on the side but I have no idea what they stand for:-

Here is the other side showing the swivel base:-

If you can give me any information about this, I would really
appreciate it.

TIA.

Lewis.

Here is a similar vise manufactured by an Indian company:

Claims to be headed by a German engineer and that this is a unique
design:

I couldn’t find much else, but it sure looks like you have a nice
vise.

I'l have to go and ask my wife. LOL. I broke one that looked a lot like
that a few years back that was on the workbench she had out in the garage
when we got married. (I'm not kidding.) I think she got it from her dad
who was an engineer for GM Hydramatic. I broke it using a 6 foot cheater
bar to try and press out a U-joint before I got my hydraulic press.
Seriously though I'll ask her if she recognizes it or knows who made it.

WHAT? Shame on you, Bob. If you can't persuade a u-joint cup into
place easily by hand, it's kinked in the assembly or a needle is in
the way. You won't compress a needle bearing and it will break your
vise.

I used to use the old long-fiber bearing grease on them, to stick the
needles firmly to the cup, then pump the joints full of good moly
grease before installing them on the vehicles.

My $22 Chiwanese vise from HF is still plugging along, 35 years later.
I do use cheaters on occasion, too, but only 2-footers. As Clint
Eastwood said in 'Magnum Force', "A man has to know his limitations."

Press out, not press in. And a press fit one. No clips.

grease before installing them on the vehicles.

I never had any problem pressing them in.

It's the same design approach as a Schlegel (made in Germany), although
the Schlegel is designed somewhat heavier and has the name cast in the
right side. (I googled and couldn't find a current Schlegel site,
only Wayback Machine pages for a distributor that no longer has them:

I see you are very observant:-

(LL, why do you have racing slicks on your Moulton?)

They are actually Urethane tires (aka Airfree Tires, solid tires)
which are on 20" (406mm) rims. I ride Airfree Tires most of the time
because I am a 'Car-Free' person and I despise getting flats.
