It's gorgeous. Might we ask "How much did you pay?"

I have to share my excitement of a recent auction purchase.
For quite a while I have been looking for a functional prewar (WWII) camera
with an uncoated lens, and this one arrived today.

Given it's age (from around late 1930's I think), it looks beautiful. It came
with the leather case, manual, yellow filter and a bayonet hood - all in good
condition - and an old Blendux/Gossen lightmeter.

I am not sure if it the latter is contemporary with the camera. I am guessing
it must be a selenium cell.
It is not a valuable camera, but I am amazed that a camera of that age appear
so simple, straightforward and well conceived.
