You appear to have a very nice unmolested Luftwaffen Eigentum Robot there.
Have you unscrewed the lens? It should be engraved also as airforce property and hopefully with the number 4 matching it up with the camera serial number suffix (-4).
The black viewfinder mask for the 75mm lens you have fitted are often lost, and it is good to see the Robot badge still affixed (they often drop off as the wartime glue was not too good) and the engraving not defaced.
Have you checked whether there is undeveloped film in the take up spool canister? Because Robot used their own design film canisters the film often gets wound in and forgotten about. The canisters are light tight when the camera back is open. I've had 3 Robots pass through my hands with undeveloped films in them. You might be lucky.
In the UK this camera could be worth between £300-£500 I would have thought.
Cheers
Mark
