Wirgin was a German company, that made a line of quite inexpensive 35mm SLRs from the 1950s to the 1970s, called the Edixa. They were already active before World War II and had made a small 3x4cm camera using 127 film, the Gewirette.
They also made the Edinex 35mm viewfinder camera. On the front of the Compur shutter is the name "F DECKEL-MUNCHEN". (The company is F. Deckel and they were in Munich.) The lens is a Gewironar 4.5/5cm. The lens also has the name Wirgin Wiesbaden. The collapsible lens goes from 4.5 to 16 and the shutter speeds are 1 second-1/300 plus T and B. On the back is a depth of field chart. There is no date or serial number on the camera but I think it was built in the '30s. I have seen other variations on this camera with different lenses and shutters.
