Thanks Peter,
It’s not a Montanus nor a Voigtländer...
http://www.tlr-cameras.com/German/Montanus.html
and
http://www.tlr-cameras.com/German/Voigtlander.html
This lists a lot of TLR cameras
Having magnified the photo about 4 times in Photoshop, three features stand
out; i) the very narrow joining piece between the viewing and taking lens; ii)
the straight bottom edge of the nameplate; iii) the shutter housing is black –
most cameras are partly chromed around the lens.
Ian Parker produced a manuscript for a book “Rollei Lookalikes” but it was
never completed. He has given me the original document which lists very many
TLR cameras – whether every one made I do not know. Unfortunately, not all have
photographs to accompany the descriptions. I have been through Ian’s catalogue
and cannot find a match in the photographs

John,
Years ago, I remember seeing a similar camera at Samy's in LA. It was a
Montana or Montanus...or something to that effect. That's one possibility.
Also, didn't Voigtlaender have metal-forming that was faceted - as hinted by
the viewing hood top and the inside front of the case? Well, there's two
possibilities. Peter
