BROWE (Germany)

BROWE *Année / year 1930's
This is an unidentified carboard/wood camera. The strap says BROWE and a marking inside DRGM , then probably made in Germany.
Ground-glass viewfinders, time exposure facility.
The box opens curiously : the complete face, including the shutter mechanism and viewfinders, is pivoting and you take out the film holder including the lens. There is no hinge, just the leatherette. A curious key is fitted inside, I don't know the use of it, I assume it was made to tighten the new rollfilm.
