With the sportsfinder and "Franke & Heidecke" under the cast nameplate, it looks like the special made Rolleicord Ia for the german police.
It could also be a non listed transition model between the Rolleicord II, type 2 and 3. But then, why does it have the sportsfinder?
The small finder next to the lens is of course added later. /Patric
From: EvgenyS <evgeny_photo@xxxxxxxxxxx> Hello friends,I recently acquired a well-used but nice Rolleicord (together with other old cameras from old collector), but I do not know anything about it. I'd be glad if you could help me to identify this model and tell something about its worth for camera collecting.The camera has a Compur shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/300 sec plus T and B. Lens are:- shooting: Carl Zeiss Jena Triotar Nr. 2047916 1:3.5 f=7,5cm - focusing: Heidoscop-Anastigmat 1:3,2 f=7,5cm Nr. 697518 Nameplate on the camera has the following signs (from up to down): - Rolleicord - DRP 773902 DRGM - Franke& Heidecke BraunschweigThere is another plate on the back of the camera. There are some text and numbers in German (I suppose to help photographer to set camera properly in different conditions).The picture of the camera is here: http://img238.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rolleicordcamerais0.jpgThank you for the responses in the advance. Regards, Evgeny
