I would like to know what is the factory of this old folding wooden camera, and what is the probable year of production?

From a photographer who uses this camera, I have learned that it is probably the camera from some American company, but he wasn't pretty sure. The lens is Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar f4.5 180 mm (serial number 7363224) Compur.

I've tried to find exactly the same camera through image search services, but without success.

I'm expecting any hints or clue which a company could build this camera.

Having had a poke about the net, it looks possible it's made by Lamperti & Garbagnati Milano, highly unlikely that the lens is original.
