    About the camera: "The Compur is a long-lived series of leaf shutters that were made by the German company F. Deckel, based in München. The Compur appeared in 1912. [...] The first Compur shutters were dial set. This means that the speed setting is by way a rotating dial at the top of the shutter plate. The later models were rim set, with a speed setting rim around the shutter housing. " camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Compur Jorn's has the rotating dial.
