Canon III A Rangefinder with Nikkor - H.C 1:2 5cm Lens

Bought this without knowing much about old Canon rangefinders or any Leica copy rangefinders. Turns out it's a pretty cool camera. It wasn't until after I did some research that I found out it's a Canon III A. One of about 9000 produced in the early 50's.

 

This camera seems to have suffered from a few bumps and bruises, but is rugged enough to still be in good working condition. All I need now is a take-up spool.
