Nice beauty, always wanted to run a film through it.
Early one from beginning of 1951.

I think the IIa is one of the most beautiful, best designed cameras. It's got a good dollop of Deco, very well built, and all the photographically significant bits placed just right. A joy to use and to look at. As is your portrait of it Wink

Mint and beauty indeed.

Very nice indeed, and less common with the Rodenstock.

I have a IIa fixer-upper with the Schneider, I hope to get it operating. It won't look as nice as yours though.
