Could be a Nagel Pupille or Vollenda. Both need 127 film, not easy to find.

The factory of Dr. Nagel in Stuttgart was sold to Kodak in1932. In the beginning they still manufactured some Nagel models but developed soon the famous 35mm Retina cameras. They were developed further and built until the beginning of the seventies. The same applies to all Retinette models and the top range of the Instamatic cameras (500 and Reflex).

The former Nagel then Kodak factory also was the birthplace of the Kodak S-AV, later Ektapro and Leica RT(!) slide projectors. It was Kodak´s top range camera and projector factory. Most of the lenses came from Schneider Kreuznach, some from ISCO (abbr. Joseph Schneider &CO), Rodenstock and Docter (projection lenses). No Kodak camera had a Leitz lens.
