Or Zenit
My first slr was a Zenit. Weighed a ton and had a match needle selenium light meter on the top plate with the receptors just above the lens.
Certainly made one learn about the science of photography.

No auto exposure, stop down metering ..... nothing, but boy, did I enjoy it
Good luck & and let's hope it's a 'Blad or similar

I have my Grandad's Zenit amongst other old camera bits and bobs, it's an experience using it, and it is a brick-like in weight, mine does not look as well cared for as Steve's though
Fingers crossed it's a 'blad
