I eventually found the time to check out my purchase from this thread.
I'm really happy with this find. It's complete, not broken or chipped, has the correct handset, and was not even filthy  :)
I've never seen a second one while while watching the sales platforms here in Germany over the last couple of years.
When would this one have been made? I could not find clear dates on it.
I wondered that it is already made for DSL  8) (last pic)  8)
Here are some pics after a quick cleanup.

DSL probably means it has a straight line ringer (not frequency selective) -- not Digital Subscriber Line!

Thanks for explaining the lettering!

I've found this model referred to as "juke box phone" on a collector's site. Quite appropriate, it seems  :)
