Nice find, Bob. Those Schneiders are pds (pretty damn sharp). The burning question, though, is: does it have two card slots???
Maybe one slot on the back for the film carton flap - reminder of which film was loaded. ☺

There is no such slot.

A very nice example, Bob! Looks like it’s been kept in a hermetically sealed time capsule all these years - or had a total overhaul recently. I have a IIIc that I really need to get out and use.

Never have to clean the sensor! Every time you wind, you get a new sensor. Leaf shutter = no mirror slap. Love the simplicity. Those were the days.
Mirrorless with interchangeable sensor...

Nice example...I remember the first Retina-Reflex coming out ,when I was in Libya (RAF). Apparently a limited number were allowed to be imported into the UK (1958).

Do you know which Type Number? There were five sequential production runs at five factories — two before WWII and the rest after.

Nice Lens!
I've got an older one. I think it may be a Retina. It has a guess at it focusing system and it is a German made Kodak, DIN everything. Distance scale only in meters!

I had a Retina IIIC back in the day and love it. Very compact when close, and when open. Good luck with your new toy.
