What camera is this, Rolleiflex?

Assuming it's a Rolleiflex but could very well be something else.

I'd say a Yashica 635. https://camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Yashica-635

That looks like it, thanks.

The site is not accurate, the D was made with both a 3 and a element taking lens while as far as I know the 635 was only with the 3 element lens. The important question is, do have the 35mm kit?

Yes, but the to the original OP's question the sailor is using a Yashicamat 635. I can't tell from the picture if it's a 3 element or 4 element lens.

Most Yashica-635 have the three element Yashikor, but a few have the four element Yashinon.

Here are two with the Yashinon:

thanks for the correction, I had never seen a 4 element 635.

The answer is: It is NOT a Rolleiflex. It is just a mediocre Yashica model - not a model to aspire for.
