By serial#, 227736, I believe it's a IIIa, from 1936/7, but I can't see whether it has a 1/1000 on the shutter speed dial. I believe the lens is newer than the camera, as it has the international f-stop sequence and closes to f/22. Looks to be in fine condition cosmetically & ought to be worth the price of a CLA even if it needs a new curtain. That's assuming the rear element hasn't been sandpapered, or . . . ?
