I am not very familiar with pre-WW2 aircraft. Seems to be an obscure model of the company in question as in several listings it is not mentioned. Reportedly one or two were built. The company was absorbed in another company in the 1980s.

Very sorry RR, not Romania
One more clue (I think that will bring us close to the right answer)
The company got its own museum

I was thinking of Messerschmitt....they have their own museum and were taken over (their MBB form) in the late 80's.

sorry, not German
The company had several sub-divisions and the parent company ceased 1950.
The last surviving sub-division was absorbed in another company in 1983.

sorry LM, no and no
and the company designed/built many aircraft and if you hear the name you may want get drunk tonight. But.... since the type (not the builder) is somewhat obscure, I will not blame you.

So it has to be Russian! Oh joy, just what I didn't want to hear!

But, parent company, sub-divisions etc....doesn't sound like the Russian aircraft industry . Time to investigate further.

Ateliers de Constructions Aeronautiques de Zeebrügge ACAZ C-2

or one of the prototypes that they did for SABCA, which then went to Dyle & Bacalan?

Sorry - overlooked the ruling-out of Belgium.

I saw the correct country mentioned in all the comments so far.
And the countries we had mentioned are:
Romania, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Belgium and Russia.
We have ruled out all of them!!!
