NO Kodak printed document was read for the prewar models - the highest tier reached is museum cataloguing, and confidence is set accordingly.

Spec Notes
The first Retina with a rangefinder, and it is a SEPARATE-WINDOW rangefinder, not the combined finder of the later Nr. 150. Europe only. Lens options sourced: Schneider Xenon 5cm f/2, Schneider Xenon 5cm f/2.8, Schneider Retina-Xenon 5cm f/2 and f/2.8, Kodak Ektar 5cm f/3.5. Shutter Compur-Rapid 1-1/500 + B. Standard lens NOT SOURCED. Weight and dimensions NOT SOURCED. GENERATION FOLDED IN: Nr. 142 (1937-39, the US-market version), which differs by ONE dimension - a film advance KNOB in place of the 122's top-mounted lever. Same lenses, same shutter, same separate-window rangefinder.
