Hello Solido , Welcome to Apug.

Did you look this link ? Your camera cant be made later than 1933.
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

I have an Orion Werk's camera with a rimset Compur shutter and a Rodenstock lens, I can't remember whether it has a Trinar or Eurynar.

But the lens & shutter mean your camera was the low end of the range, and probably 1920's roughly.
