The front axle looks like that of a 1910´s-1920´s Sizaire Naudin, but the car should be fron the mid 1930´s...

Not a Sizaire-Naudin, not from the mid-30's.

I think the car would be more like 1920s. Is it French ?

Is it based on a production car which also had that suspension arrangement ?

This car is not actually based on a production car, but the company also built production cars with a transverse leaf spring at the front.

Was this a well-known high-volume manufacturer?

Not as well-known or high-volume as Citroen or Peugeot, but neither obscure (on an AutoPuzzles scale) nor a manufacturer of one-offs.

It looks very small - is it based on a Rosengart?

Not based on a car of another manufacturer, and not a Rosengart.

No, the manufacturer was not as big or well known as Delahaye or Hotchkiss.
