This is a 1954 build 6x6 Japanese SLR Taiyodo Koki Co. Reflex Beauty (I). It is the first model.
The film is loaded from right to left, so the advance knob is on the left and the lever on the right is to arm the focal-plane shutter.
The speed selector has 6 positions : 500, 200, 100, 50, 25 and B.
The lens is a Canter TKK 1:3.5 F=75mm probably coated and can be removed by a screw thread. The focus is made by a ring in the middle and the aperture ring at the front is going from 3.5 to 22.
The release button and a cable release thread are attached to the right of the mirror box.
There is an accessory shoe and a sunken PC synch socket on the left, and there are strap lugs on each side. The tripod thread is placed under the mirror box and there are two film flanges under the bottom plate, allowing the camera to stand on a table.
