What kind of retro bicycle is this?

[StomioS]

Hello everyone,
I have recently discovered this bicycle that belonged to my grand father! However I have no idea of what kind of bike this is? The logo seems to be half and I can't find any information about the age, the model, the value etc of it! I would like to restore it but just wanted to know a few more details and if it worths it! Thanks in advance!

Below you can find some pics of it

Re:

The head badge suggests German, possibly East, looks about 1950s.
Appears to have some British parts.
I would suggest the value at zero or less.

It seems to be a Göricke from Bielefeld.

Here's a very similar model in Greece:

I can't help with the financial valuation but the sentimental aspect of this being your grandfathers would make it worthy of a restoration to me.

One year after the bankruptcy in 1929 bought a German-Dutch consortium NVTE (Naam Looze Vennootschap dead Exploitatieder Göricke Fabrieken), the company, which then changed its name as a GmbH. In October 1941 there was a after the merger with mechanical and apparatus Erich nipple a change of name to Göricke Bicycle and Machine Factory, Nipple & Co. Since 1964, the brand of the Göricke Panther Werke AG will continue to be produced (wages)

Products [edit]
Since 1899 bikes were produced with shaft drive. In 1932 followed bicycles duralumin. The company also presented mopeds and motorcycles [1] ago. The product spectrum ranges up to 500 cc machines.

Between 1907 and 1908, the company introduced....."

looks as if your machine was made after 1941 and before 1964
