Hi

Does anyone know what this is please. I havent been able to identify it or find a similar one.
 
did you mean to attach a photo? Konica made a wide range of cameras and lenses over its lifespan. Was eventually absorbed by Sony.
 
Konica was a Japanese camera company that dates back to around 1873. They were a leading manufacturer of Japanese cameras until they merged with Minolta in 2003. They're not as well rated outside of Japan as they probably should be, but for those of us who collect them, that's OK.

Any more information will need to be accompanied by an actual inquiry.
 
If it’s a Konica rangefinder, the rangefinder mirror has fallen off its post, there’s haze and dust in the rangefinder box, the focus patches are as faded as your memory, the shutter blades are glued together, and the meter won’t work. Not to mention it will need new light seals and a battery you don’t have.

I have 7 of them and want 7 more
 
We may need to wait for more pertinent info from the op. Or for a picture. Or something.
 

After making the usual age-related repairs, I shot with a Konica III. Wow. That camera is solid quality.

I say we bark out possible answers like we’re playing charades and hope the OP hadn’t mistaken this for a copier forum.
