Yesterday, in the mountains, I found remnants of a camera that was hidden below a glacier since recently.
It was in two parts, but its lenses are still untouhed.
On the ocular it was written:

Carl Zeiss Jena
Nr. 305315
1:4,5
f 7,5
c10

I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me with that.

Best regards from
Blaz Komac

According to the Zeiss pre-war serial number listing I have it was made in 1918.

Hi Richard, unfortunately - although there is a lot of info on Yashicas on the net - that question seems to be a hard one. You could try this link http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~coreya/yashica/genhist1.html for a rough estimate or ask Yashica guy, as he knows more about them than anybody else I know, W.
