Is the image captioned as "1938 model" correct - or is the Photax III date wrong? It looks early from the shutter control. McKeown (12th ed, p.688) lists Photax III (listed here as 1947) as the first with the long shutter-release, providing a cable-release socket. However, McKeown is a bit sketchy here, not listing any dates for the individual models - so this may be the fault.
I've dated my image based on the 1947 Photax III lens & shutter detail listed here.
