BYJ's 503CW

At first I was thinking it was a Mamiya Rb 67 again!!! I like Mamiya personally but I think that's because it's more affordable than a Hasselblad (in theory) plus the lines were the first clue.

After exhausting Robert White's selection of cameras from Canham to Rollei I stumbled on this old photo of a Hasselblad. The curve line on the side and the round button was a give away then I searched further.
