Trying to find the font for this one, would you say that it's Old English, Gothic or similar style....
Jan , we have been chatting about that a little bit recently. Both the Old English and the Gothic styles of the font for the writting have origins in the Romanian font. It was widespread type for writing in the Middle Agres. But even later it was used for both calligraphy/lattering and printing. As memo serves the font type was used for printing of newpapers in the USA until 30/40' or even ate. There is a lot of the variants in shape for the font. IMHO judging by the all tails for the letters o, a, m, u, d etc ... it is a kind of the Old English font.

Agreed....it's just finding the "right" one! 
As with all fonts, styles, there's about as many variants as there are excellent Polish beers, hundreds!
