initially appearing as a Type 022 with a faceplate Type 030, (or is a Type 030 with a top plate Type 022?), the only clue that can give an indication of the true identity of this camera lies in the serial number , 95xxxx, which is high for a 022, but close to another 022"" normal"" I've seen. David L. Jentz of"" Retina Society for Historical Cameras"" has confirmed that this transition model seems to have been made for the UK market around February 1958. All have known examples, such as this camera, a distance scale in feet. Design changes seem to reflect the change between the Retina Retina Ib and IB, where the first IB retained the smallest viewer Ib, which occurred about the same time as the change of model Retinette 022/030.
