Anyone seen Bessa RF/Bessa E instructions?

Greetings all,

If the gods of the post are willing, I shall soon receive a new (to me) Bessa RF or Bessa E, i.e. the pre-war (?) type of rangefinder Bessa which Abbazz posted a whopping big picture of in this thread. (Although to keep the price down, I got one with a Helomar triplet. His looks like a Heliar.)

I've scoured the web for an instruction book for this thing, and have not found one, either on Sylvain Halgands's incredible site (linked above) or on the other usual suspect, Mike Butkus's fabulous site. There are manuals for the Bessa I (non-RF), the Bessa II (post-war RF), and even for various older Bessas with no RF and just the pop-up VF. But none for this exact camera. Has anyone out there seen such documentation? In any language is fine! I know most folders are fairly self-explanatory, but I do always like to read up on the manual of anything I buy, in case there are subtleties.

Thanks in advance.
—Dave
