Hi,
I have found the following:
http://www.nadir.it/ob-fot/CECCHI_IFI_2/italiane_02.htm
It's Italian only but from what I understand the Robi was manufactured by the Italian camera maker CMF in the mid 30ies (together with a 6x4.5 sister camera called Gabri). The names originally were Gabry and Roby but had to be italianized by order of the fascist regime. The Robi sports a 10.5cm/f=11 meniscus lens with fixed focus.
Here another link with some more pictures of the camera. (CMF became Bencini after WWII). Being able to read Japanese(?) would help with this page.

Sorry, still no help finding the missing parts, I fear.
