I think this is a piece of historism,, its wiregrip and the missing "Tuerkenbuende" are typical.

I have a good suspicion you are correct. Here is a link to one that is similar without the wire. I had a good idea it was likely from the 1800's but not the 1500/1600's Plus the price was much too cheap
