The only reference to a Zessan[1] is this page of Nekosan's website. It is said to be a 127 film camera made before the war by Riken Kōgaku Kōgyō (today Ricoh). This camera is not listed in the camera list of the Ricoh official website. According to the picture displayed, it is a 3×4 format camera, the lens and shutter assembly is mounted on a telescopic tube, the shutter is a Seikosha Licht and there is an accessory shoe.
