I believe it is the Bessa 6x9.  I have heard that it has been left to 
me, and knowing my MIL I'm sure it is mint, if not periodically c&a.  
Well, maybe not the latter.  I also have a Kodak 120 folder that my dad 
brought back from Germany in WWII.  As I recall, it is marked "Wetzlar" 
but I will have to pull it down and see.  I shot many rolls of 120 with 
it as a little kid.  I would take the film to our local drugstore to be 
developed...enough, I'm starting to feel old.  The more I scan, the more 
I love digital cameras.
