  Impressive feedback my friend. My client will be happy to receive this information as am I. The action is in incredible condition.  I usually pass on these relics but this one intrigued me. Besides it's nice to work instruments other than Brand S & S, B,Y, K, or M & H.
  I love a good Victorian upright too. Rebuilt a hundred I bet
 Kindest Regards

  Dale Erwin

Hello Dale,
 
    I have done a quick research on your   " Franz Fuchs "
grand piano.
 
   It appears to be in outstanding condition.  My S.K. Taylor
book gives the production date of  early 1911. In 1910  the 
number is 1150  in  1911---1230 
    
   It also gives a production time of 1903  ending  in 1925.
In 1938  This name appears again as  Fuchs -- Mohr.  ser. 
no. 12760  ending with 31515 in 1966.
   A notation states  " Made by VEB Mobelkombina, Eisenberg."
 
    I think this piano will have a " Walther "  Viennese action but 
it could a Stein. 
 
  Both these actions are great actions ( three moving parts) 
including the key,  but a bit slower than the  Herz -- Erard.
However they can be made faster. 
 
   Hope this helps,
 
   Jack Wyatt
