Kirk: I think you did not read my previous message, I found the Rolleicord Vb in the seller web site. The Rolleiflex Standard with Tessar 3.5/75 lens was manufactured from November 1934 to May 1938, they always were provided with a Compur shutter, from 1934 to 1935 with the older Compur 1/300s fastest shutter speed and from 1935 with the newer Compur-Rapid shutter 1/500s fastest shutter speed (Claus Prochnow, Rollei Report 1).
