"Dagors" were around for a long time, and turn up in all kinds of shutters, so mounting one shouldn't be difficult.
If you haven't looked at the S.K. Grimes website recently, the general information about mouting old lenses in shutters might interest you:

Depending on what you want to do with the lens, a "studio" shutter might be a low-cost solution. The ones prevalent in this part of the world have been around for a long, long time as "Packard" or "Ideal" shutters. They are still available from:

and they often turn up used, at very reasonable prices.
Many years ago, I built one into a rather crude lensboard extension for my "Graphic View II," so I could use enlarger lenses for closeup photographs with photoflood illumination. It worked very well.
