Als Quelle wird "Burnley Express" in 'The Chess Problem: Text-Book with Illustrations' angegeben.
Motto: "We cannot all be masters"
SCHRECKE: C+, popeye 4.87 (2022-04-16)
athulin: Tourney source is probably best expressed as 'Burnley Express', as the name changed in the period.

First publication: Burnley Express and Advertiser, i. 173 (1881-03-26), p. 3, prb. 164.

The reference to a reprint in Canadian Chess Problems below seems odd: as far as I can find that problem is a #3 by G. A. Robinson with a quite different position. (https://books.google.se/books?id=bywVAAAAYAAJ&dq=canadian%20chess%20problems&pg=PA140#v=onepage&q&f=true) (2022-09-28)
Mario Richter: Anders is right, Dieter mixed up two sources: the correct reprint source name is not 'Canadian Chess Problems', but 'The Chess Problem. Text-Book with illustrations', p. 157, Problem 140. (Its publication year is usually given as 1886, not 1887).

One general remark: when introducing new sources in the PDB, the information provided should make it possible to identify the source uniquely. That is, names like 'Times', 'Mail', or in this case 'Express' without additions, should be avoided. I know that this is not easy, since in many cases the problem data comes only from secondary sources, where the original source may only be given in rudimentary form (e.g. something like "Our today's problem is taken from 'The Mail'"). Perhaps it would be better in such cases to not introduce a new source but onlyx to make a remark in the comment field of the problem ... (2022-09-28)

[AZW]: Der wS spielt nicht mit, er hat nur den Zweck, den sT zu verstellen.
1.Preis The Wanderer (Milwaukee) 1886; Einsendungsmotto: "Tit for Tat"

[BCM, 1886, S.70]: "The monthly column is an important feature in a new Illustrated Magazine entitled "The Wanderer," published at Milwaukee, price $1 a year, and devoted to the interests of the travelling public. The Chess contents are so thoroughly good in every way that we recommend our readers to write for a copy ..."

[ACM]: "A marked specialty of his work, which will serve as a faithful index of his style, is his constant predilection to elaborate the powers and functions of the pawn. This peculiarity, conjoined with an active use of the white king, can be traced through many of his finest problems. We will venture to illustrate with a few examples, commencing with the first prize winner of the Wanderer tourney, Milwaukee, 1887."

SP: Double Berger cutting point. The earliest source known to me

Authors: Grupen, A
Sources:
Years: 1928
TODO: Quelle prüfen - weder bei visueller Prüfung noch im Schwalbe-Index für die Jahre 1928-1930 konnte die Aufgabe gefunden werden.

Das Rätsel ist gelöst: Die Aufgabe erschien nicht in der Schwalbe im Jahr 1928, sondern in einem Sonderheft der Schwalbe am 06.07.1965 als Widmungsaufgabe von AG zum 70. Geburtstag von Dr. Wilhelm Massmann mit der Problemnummer(!) 1928. Den Abdruck dieser Aufgabe fand Carsten Ehlers.

Die Quelldaten in der PDB sind nun richtiggestellt worden.
