Are you sure its a Bogen and not a Biogon? DJ

Bogen (& Prinz, & D. O. Industries) privated labelled the Congo lenses, I believe. See the archives for this info. I've got a Congo of this design. It's a 4- element (Tessar, I think), and does fine for general work. I like it because of its compact design.
