Identify German KW Roll Film Back

[Another Film User]

I picked up this large roll film back by KW of Germany, at first I thought it might fit a Praktica but no such luck. It seems to fit a camera slightly smaller than a Praktica and requiring a small notch on the right hand side. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I am taking a wild guess -> Praktina?

Exakta? They had so many models?

It's for a Praktina, the first true system camera that took a motor drive, the company merged with what had been Contax in East Germany to become VEB Pentacon.

Praktina's have become collectors items in recent years, way ahead at their time of production.

Thank you very much! I should have thought of that!
