Uh, a USSR camera with Jena lens, perhaps? Moment shutters were USSR. But I am not aware they made focal plane shutter large format cameras. It might also be (given the cloth shutter) a (German, later GDR) Mentor with a Moment leaf shutter later added to replace the failed focal plane shutter. Did you take a picture of it?

If it is a Mentor reflex, the cloth shutter is fairly complicated and may not be so easy to fix.
13x18cm was a standard format. I just passed on a 13x18cm film magazine with septums (rather like a Graflex Grafmatic 4x5 magazine). It may have been intended for this type of camera.

For use, you'd want a fairly new Mentor Reflex (they were made up into the early seventies) - these have a nicer (time scaled) shutter, front swing and a flash socket. These GDR period 9x12 or 10x15 Atelier Reflex models tend to go for about 150€ on ebay pretty much regardless of whether working or not - if you are careful reading the description you may get a perfectly working one for that price. Much cheaper than fixing a broken one - I don't buy broken ones any more unless it should be a very collectible period piece from before the first world war.
LF reflexes might be the ultimate portrait camera, but as they can only use long lenses (nobody ever having made a LF retrofocal) they are not really general purpose - if you start into them you'll soon feel the need for more LF cameras alongside it, so beware!
