Model II, was made by Riken Optical Company and manufactured in 1950. It differs from Model I only in having the f3.5/25mm lens stop down to f16, rather than f11 and having some minor cosmetic changes. The sliding shutter speed adjustment is more semi-circular than a crescent moon. The leather is stamped "Made in Occupied Japan" on the base and engraved "Model II Use 16mm film" on the side.
A very capable system and explains why the cameras continued to be used half a century later.
