That is a mystery! The Logo appears to be a Pine tree or an arrowhead.
But the number set is a Cage Code from Honeywell Aerospace!
Help me identify this logo

Even more interesting if you place the letter "A" as third character it gives the RGB color which
is actually Green!
That is all very funny and such but I'd really like to know whose stamp that is. There's bound to be someone who has seen that "christmas tree" with a queen in front and a big "H" underneath.

The only thing I've found online was on "Etsy" and they were Christmas tree ornaments.

The imitation Gold Leaf means it is more modern printing. But the numbers were patented and associated with two other products which would mean it was made before either. If it was a set, post a picture of one of the knights.
It is very likely a GDR manufacturer (due to them sticking to the "bundesform") but I can't find anything about them from the logo, reverse img search also doesn't work.
Somebody is selling an almost (queen crown is slightly different) identical set on ebay (down to the "scythe" locking mechanism of the box)

sadly it doesn't have any information about the manufacturer either.
Interesting. I'm not really sure; which German chess sellers or makers were active in the 1970s or 1980s? Regarding the logo, the tree reminded me of a 'Bayerwald' gold logo. However, there's also the letter 'H,' so it can't be that. Perhaps the letter 'H' could stand for HUK (Switzerland)? You can see the 'H' on a HUK label here:
While the "H" indeed has some similarities I can't find any "bundesform" set from them. It'd also be a stretch for a swiss brand to do a niche-ish German design that really nobody else does (apart nowadays from India ofc). Not impossible though.
The "GDR" and "70s-80s" thing are just my best guesses, maybe the manufacturer isn't from the GDR and maybe the set is from the 90s - I don't really know.
One thing I learned is that it's hard to find information about different GDR manufacturers on the internet, either there weren't many (maybe there was only one?) or the information has been lost.
) to the source of the set. I now was able to find this
I recently happened to stumble upon a "bundesform" set on a flea market in east Berlin and as the seller didn't want much for it I just took it with me.
On the back of the wooden box there's a logo, presumably of the maker of this set.
If there's interest I'll post some images of the set, the only piece that stands out from other "bundesform" sets are the knights which have an abstract dragon-like head (the Queen's head is spherical and the rest of the pieces look as expected for a "bundesform"-family set).
I suspect it was manufactured in the GDR in the 70s or 80s.
