5x8 f5 Briggs Special Portrait
nice glass, functioning aperture 
(plenty of blades - didn't count though)

Briggs was a photo dealer - so after some research - I found that this is a rebadged 

Burke & James 5x8 Cephaloscope     9"    f5 

which is a pretty decent lens


covers 5x7 for sure, probably 6x8 

w/o mounting ring
