Looks very nice!

If you have been hand pollinating your other fruits, and you plan to hand pollinate these, I would like to suggest that you leave a few fruits unpollinated and post your results. This plant is somewhat of a mystery, and leaving some fruits unpollinated and observing how they compare to pollinated fruits will tell a lot about it.

Very nice, Ralf! I haven't had a flower from mine yet, but maybe in an other year or two. We'll see!

Cross-pollinated or not?

Hm, I guess that's the Roland's Turkish version, which could mean that it's some sort of Grand Nain relative. I'm certainly hoping for some vital seeds. Good luck.
