Hello Michiel,
I have only just now seen your posting about the archaeological camera. I am an archaeologist myself (and a camera collector) and would like to help if possible. The otherwise great book on lenses "A history of the photographic lens" by Rudolph Kingslake (1989) does not mention the lens you found, but the name Ennastigmat probably means that the lens is of anastigmatic design, a type widely used at the time of WWII, but also much earlier. The focal length of the lens, 35 centimeters, is quite large for a box camera. Are you sure it is not 3,5 CM? If you could mail me some digital pictures of the lens but also the remains of the camera, perhaps I could tell you more.
