Kodak Retina I Identification - Type 126 (Late)

The Type 126 Kodak Retina I is part of the second series of pre-WWII Kodak Retina I cameras, where were produced between 1937 to 1941. Second series cameras are identified by their 5 or 6 digit serial number with a "K" suffix. In the case of the pictured 126 here, it has serial 132846K. Further identification of Retina I types is done via the styling of the top plate. The Type 126 (Late) can be identified by the frame counter arrow at about the 2 o'clock position combined with a single screw in the top plate about the 7 o'clock position on the wind knob.
