The top of the device says " ventura germany ", but the box it came in says " made in china ". which is it?

Suspect China based on a German design!

My wife gave me this as a gift, but one of the small brass screws was broken. Do you have a parts list with prices for replacement parts.

I’m sorry, I do not. Much luck in finding one. John
