I hate to contradict you, but if his serial-# is _really_  between 12940 
and 12949 (and not between 1294000 and 1294999), his Rollei was made 
from 1928 to 1932 and has no filter bayonet.

I doubt this (these old cameras are collectors items...). If the serial 
number is 1294xxx (>1.000.000) his camera is a Automat with a f3.5 Tessar
(or Xenar) with Bay. I, the same as the 'cord.
