Confirmed an early Rolleiflex ‘Standard’-type: taking lens is a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 7.5cm (s/n 1388615), viewing lens a Heidoscop-Anastigmat f/3.1 7.5cm (s/n 234287), the ‘Heidoscop’ viewing-lens branding is a hallmark of the early-1930s Rolleis. Compur shutter. In its original brown leather case with two bay-mount filters in the lid (Hell = light, Mittel = medium B&W contrast grades). The Tessar serial dates it to roughly the mid/late 1930s.
