Münchner Merkur Galliard -esque newspaper nameplate

jaylangly

I spotted this amazing logo in München recently,

Doing some research I saw that their current name plate is not this one, and quite uninspiring

Digging further back I found examples that are close and look like a condense Galliard, but are definitely not the same as the photo I took:

Notice especially the way the r hooks around in a brush-like or talon like manner in the photo.

Any help is appreciated!

I trust you will get a good answer if you post your request at the Font Identification forum http://typophile.com/typeid
look forward to seeing you there.

My apologies, I did not realise I had posted it to the general forums — I will repost, and hopefully a moderator (is Typophile moderated these days?) can delete this one.
