[Xposure120]

This is my 4th rangefinder. I have two polaroid rf's and one olympus XA. I picked this up at a local thrift shop and I can't seem to figure out what model I have. Here are images of all of the stuff that came with it. There are pictures here.

What's the serial number?

Serial # is 51964

My guess would be a Canon III, made from 2/1951 'til 12/1952.

That was the guess I had but I wanted to get a second opinion.

The serial number overlaps with the Canon IIC. Top speed on the III is 1000, while top speed on the IIC is 500. Can't tell from your pictures what the speeds are.

Nice pick up especially as a classic set from that era and very clean outfit as well. Yep I would say it is a model III. Nice pics as well when enlarged as a slide show. Peter

You already had it CLA'd, and it's for sale, and the repair person couldn't tell you what model it was?

Puzzled me too.
