It looks like a first message from a new member.

did you mean to attach a photo? Konica made a wide range of cameras and lenses over its lifespan. Was eventually absorbed by Sony.

You've got to give us more to go on than this !
It could be a camera , a lens or an Aardvark with a tripod up's bum !
A pictures sure to help.

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.

In anticipation of possible additional information added to the opening post, I'm going to lock this for now.
