Who was Alfred Dieffenbacher

Some days ago I obtained a book called " Counterfeit Gold Coins of the World " by Alfred Dieffenbacher. The book was published i 1963 at a Montreal/ Canada - based publishing - firm. Its purpose was to provide help to bank clerks indetecting false gold coins. As the introduction and all texts are in english and german , I believe ist could have been ment especially for the use at german banks.
But, who was Alfred Dieffenbacher ? Is anything known about him and could he possibly be still at life ?

I would be gratefull for any answer.

Best regards, Mynter

Hello yakpoo,

thank you very much ! This source is of great help to me.

 

Glad to help! I was looking for bankers of Munich, GE in the 1950s and 1960s and got some possible hits...but I don't know German.
