You are looking at a Vintage Franka Solida III Folding Rangefinder Camera
It has a Schneider-Kreuznach Radionar 2.9/80 Lens and a Prontor-S Shutter and comes in its original case.
The camera is in decent vintage condition – some cosmetic wear and minor oxidation but no real damage. Bellows are intact.
The lens has a small patch of fungus inside the front lens, near to the edge. The viewfinder is also a bit dirty on the inside – the image is not too bad though, just not as sharp as it could be.
The camera opens fine and the and the standing foot folds down and back.
Shutter cocks & fires on all settings, although 1, 2 & 5 are a sticky. The aperture setting works, as does the focus ring.
The delayed shutter cocks but doesn’t unwind without (very firm) assistance. It does trigger the shutter though.
The rangefiner works as it should
The back opens nicely and inside is fine.
The photos form part of the description so please study carefully
