More research says Sevo is the Swedish maker of the vise. I assume the other name is a retailer.

There is a very nice-looking one on eBay in England at present. I think the asking price is much higher than I would pay, not to mention the shipping cost. The pictures are good. It may be a newer model and, of course, does not have the USA agent's nameplate.

Didn't Ralmike's Tool-A-Rama sell a similar, English-made, version of that drill vise in the 1980s?

There is another old thread about this and similar styles of vise here.
