Hi John,
I agree it says "The Victoria". There was a German firm but there was also a Scottish one, both called Victoria and both making bikes around the same time.

Hi,
This is the Scottish "The Victoria". Website as previously advised is very informative on the history of the make. This combo was registered with the Gloucester County Council in the autumn of 1913.

Vintman
