Voigtlander Bessa (Germany)
This is very similar to the other Voigtlander in my collection, however this one has the Anastigmat Voigtar f/7.7 (Braunschweig) lens, I cannot identify the shutter but it is either of: Prontor, Compur, Compur Rapid or even Skopar. I am struggling to ID the shutter as it is not marked in any way and doesn't really match any of the many images I can see on the Internet.
As this does not have the folding finder, the best guess for a year would be 1929, it also only handles one size of film (120 as 6x9).
It is also stamped 'Germany' in the leatherette and is slightly larger and heavier than my other one. The lens focal length is also shown in German.
