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

Spec Notes
6x9 cm on 620. Kodak AG named it Vollenda rather than Six-20 for the German market, where 'Six-20' would mean nothing. Nickel trim and a frame finder. *** A SCOPE CLAIM REFUTED IN VERIFICATION ***: one source states the Vollenda 620 was 'manufactured in the UK from 1936-1939'. The Kodak Museum object record settles it - maker Kodak AG, place of manufacture STUTTGART. The UK claim is most likely a collision with the Kodak Six-20 and Junior Six-20 folders that Kodak Ltd of Harrow genuinely did build in that window. It matters because a UK-built Kodak falls under the CUMBERLAND date-code branch, which is undecodable. The museum record dates its specimen 1935-1936 against the collector source's 1934-1936; the wider range is used and the conflict recorded. Weight NOT SOURCED.
