Model 57-A 35mm range finder made in Japan by Samoca around 1960, condition VG.
Match needle meter is accurate, everything functions as it should, RF patch is a bit weak, but could be refurbed. 2.8/50mm Glass is clean and appears to be single coated, focus is smooth.
Shutter seems accurate, tested with film, speeds B-1/300 f-stops 2.8- 22. Single stroke film advance, cold shoe w/synch on lens (requires synch cord).
Leather ever ready case in good condition but a little scuffed, original lens cap. Film counter on bottom next to rewind release, viewable thru cut-out in case, manually reset. Over all a well built, rugged camera, for the age it has held up very well.

$50usd plus shipping and insurance to anywhere Paypal or USPS money orders accepted

A couple of test shots from the Tower, scans of test prints.
 
I will consider trades.
 
Offers for an all metal bodied, fully mechanical, dependable shooter?
 
Bump--make any offer
 
Bump a doodle doo
 
Gone!
