First camera

This is my first camera, given to me by my parents approximately 1973 while I was in college.  It's a rangefinder camera and has a nice, fast f1.7 lens.  I usually shot black and white film in college (cheaper to buy a roll of B/W), and had prints developed in a smaller size 2"x3" (again, cheaper for the college student). The camera came in a button case which was always on the camera so the camera body is in very nice shape.  Worst thing to which the camera was exposed was a college dining room food fight. Mashed potato snowballs and fistfuls of canned peas were flying everywhere.  Camera and self managed to avoid getting pelted as participants respected the event being documented.
