Chronology of cameras Braun
During the early part of the 1950s, Braun produced a range of foldings named Norca, with or without a number depending on the performance level of the model.

The Norca I exists with two types of finder, without knowing if the two variants were offered simultaneously or if the version with shrouded finder and accessory shoe replaced the one with a folding finder. Braun by offering a camera with a flash sync may have realized quite quickly that not having a accessory shoe to attach the flash was counterproductive.
It's a basic camera. The shutter, although branded AGC (Gauthier), is very simple. It is likely a disguised Singlo or Derval. There are only two apertures, f/8 and f/16, and the aperture numbers are accompanied by a weather pictogram.
