Found this camera at a local flea market. Anyone know anything about the history of whatever this is?

It is an Edinex II, a simplified verson of the Edinex with a flat front. It was probably made by Adox, sometime in the 50s, after they took over Wirgin (the makers of the original Edinex, without the flat front). They came with several lens options, including Schneider Radionars, Xenons and Xenars, Steinheil Cassars or "Gweironars" (don't ask, because I have never seen a Gweironar and I couldn't tell you). Other options included various Compur and Prontor shutters. The best options you could get were probably the Compur Rapid and the Xenon.

Thanks for the info! I had been coming up with nil trying to research this one on my own.
