Please identify this camera

On another website I saw a photo and this camera was one of the items on a desk. Enlarged it here. It’s embarrassing - never seen this before and I have no idea what this is. Checked Contax, Cosina, Rolleiflex, Voigtländer, Yashica… nothing.

Might be a Jenaflex AM-1.

Praktica BC-1?

Yes - by doing more web searching I see the Praktica / Jenaflex traits are there. I believe it is a Jenaflex AM-1. The AM-1 has that exact shutter dial, though there are variations on the exposure compensation dial and markings.

Nice work!

That is it! Other images from a Google search confirm the dials and controls on the top plate match.

Yes, it is a Praktica B-series. My first camera was a BMS Electronic.
