Dave:
Thanks for that info. Looked at mine last night. Suspect that it's
older than the one pictured in the link provided by Moose. Mine has a
simple round window for the film counter, a plain sight (no glass) but
the "brilliant" finder mounted on the lens. Mine has the Nettar 105/6.5
lens with a Telma shutter, so one of the base models. From another link
I found, managed to find the serial number: F9705, imprinted in the
leather on the back, but hidden beneath the viewfinder - really, really
hard to see.
