I have no idea whether this is even a font, but there’s a better image of the logo here and a massive one here.

I don’t want to disappoint you, but this looks like it was skillfully lettered by hand. I don’t think you will find a digitised typeface that looks like that.

What Yves said. That’s an old, nicely-handlettered logo. There are some nice friendly new blackletters out there, but they are not condensed, simplified Lombardics.

Hey, typophiles, there’s a gap in the market: Condensed simplified Lombardic caps. Get drawing and make a new font! Maybe Albion Home will commission it?

If you want a style but not an exact match try Faust

also, some of Dan Solo’s nouveau types have a similar feel.

Another similar one, but with a little more... flair is Kynges.
