Camera is of the "Hit Type " Japanese subminiature of the 1950's. It was made for 16m.m. rollfilm . Measures 5.5 cm. x 3.5 cm. x 3cm. Overall the condition is good.The leatherette covering is complete with no "peeling" at edges. The metalwork/chrome effect is not perfect ,with a few small marks and tiny bumps here and there , but is largely bright and undamaged. Lens bright and clear. The shutter has "I" and "B" settings. It springs open on both but stays open unless pressure is relaxed on button when it closes.( effectively works as "Bulb" on both settings). Original leather case has lost its straps but is otherwise in sound and presentable condition. The camera makes an attractive and interesting display item. I have had it on show in my own collection for over twenty years. Item sent recorded delivery If you have a particular interest in sub-miniature cameras please see the other item I have listed.
