Hello Remy:
Thanks for your note. I'm aware of several Juwella models - they were made 1933-1939 - and a few did appear with a Compur shutter, but not often seen now. As far as I know, all Juwellas went went to 1/100s or 1/125s, but maybe the Compur was slower. The earlier Juventa 1933 went to 1/75.
Best wishes.
