The serial number is 1861702. I have searched all over the datebases and found nothing identical to this camera. I am looking to sell it. Every camera that I have seen with supposedly matching serial numbers have not been correct, even on the Rolleiclub website. Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

It has a Heidosmat 1:2,8/75 & the bottom one has a Schneider - Kreuznach Xenotar 1:3,5/75.

Also, could someone tell me how much it would be worth?

My guess: It is a Rolleiflex 3,5C (called 3,5E in the US) and Jaap will have to correct item 27 on the TLR-page.
What it's worth?
Depending upon condition. In the olden days McKeown's law said any photographic item is worth what seller and buyer thought apropriate at the moment of the transaction. Nowadays? As much as any fool will bid on your astronomically high buy-it-now-price or somewhat more than the second highest bidder plus the regular step ... you'll never know until you run it up the flag pole.
Are there any accessories?
What's the cosmetical condition?
Is everything working fine?
Does the camera have a working built in light meter?
Did the camera once belong to a bay-watch actress?
Best,
Jan
