Research
Science Museum Group / Kodak Museum object records (Bradford collection); Chris Sherlock, retinarescue.com (Retina camera list and serial tables); cjs-classic-cameras.co.uk; collection-appareils.fr; camerapedia; cameracollector.net; mikeeckman.com. NO Kodak printed document was read for the prewar models - the highest tier reached is museum cataloguing, and confidence is set accordingly.

Spec Notes
ONLY ABOUT 5,107 MADE - the rarest Retina in this slice. Two hardware dimensions separate it from the Nr. 142: a COMBINED rangefinder/viewfinder replacing the separate windows, and a redesigned top plate with the depth-of-field scale wheel moved to the body bottom. *** A NAME COLLISION THAT MUST NOT BE MERGED ***: this is the PREWAR Retina IIa. The postwar Retina IIa is Type 016, an unrelated camera. Wikipedia states the distinction explicitly. Lens and shutter for the Nr. 150 specifically are NOT SOURCED beyond the shutter family; weight and dimensions NOT SOURCED.
Rangefinder
