ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A. Kausen” is most likely the individual maker who constructed and signed the model in 1934, rather than a documented professional model-maker recorded in the trade. This is not unusual in the field of high-quality ship models; many accomplished examples were produced by skilled amateurs or semi-professional craftsmen (often engineers, shipyard workers, naval personnel, or members of maritime clubs) whose work was never formally published or entered into commercial maker registries.
