Tank Identification Help

Any one ever see a tank like this. Markings read Faber 115 but the rest is in German. The valve is also very strange to me.

The tank is useless unfortunately, completely rusted out. It was found in the back of a friends garage with no air. Vey curious as to the way the valve works.

Most tanks in Europe are similar to those ones. I can't see the size of it very well without a better reference but the 115 probably refers to the volume capacity.

The valve sticking out to the side using the coupling on the side of the other K valve in the same way that a manifold between two tanks would fit in the same hole. It just screws in there.

That valve is wacky!

Note that it's m25 thread. It will thread and seal on a typical American scuba tank but it's absolutely not safe.
