Roebuck mouth call identification

There have been quite a few videos posted on youtube by Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg on calling roe bucks. He uses several different models of mouth call (and never the buttolo blatter), which through a fair bit of googling I'm struggling to ID. Does anyone recognise this one in this video at the 9:47 mark? It's a small silvery metal one - seems to work bloody well.
 
Looks like one of these:


Doesn't get us much closer though, as I can't find a maker or name of the call on that page.

A Google image search only comes up with a silent dog whistle!

Searching for "Reh Blatter" and "Rah Fiep" don't yield any results that look similar either.
 
No! I distinctly recall reading or seeing something that suggested one was just as likely to grab the full attention of a roe buck (during the rut) by being other than cautious in their noise related progress through a woodland, as distinct from doe calling.

Calling an ‘abnormal’ buck, eh?
Abnormally young and stupid, quite a bit like the buck. Each to his own, though. Well matched.

Richard Prior went out with a Hungarian master around the right time (around 11 August), and this was covered in the Shooting Times some years ago now. He scraped a bit with his foot and sticks in a few (3, istr) different areas, bringing 3 older bucks in close. All before he even reached for his trusty beech leaf.

Still got the Prior calling VHS somewhere. Footage shows a roe buck shagging away, Richard turns to the camera and says "he's well on" 😂
 
I ‘called’ a buck 2 days ago by walking bent over on the skyline. He came from 250yds to 100yds.

He just done another video and using it at 8 minutes their is a motif on the leather holder I've asked a few times ,but without a reply.

It's a shape of a bullet, split from the top and rubber band half way down .
But I still not a clue
 
Will happily let those costly gizmos to blu blooded hunters. Remember seeing one old video and he was using the classic weisskirchen roe reblatt with great skills and effectivness. It is the most versatile call good for fiep, female, rutt but is all but easy to master and need a great practice. Or at first blew sounding like a monster fart youll empty the wood. I usually prefer the wood one with lateral screw.
