The Coronet Rapier was a plastic 120 roll film viewfinder camera made by Coronet in Birmingham, UK.
The Mark I was available in 1959 (possibly earlier) and had a black body with sloping sides, a prominent square-section lens barrel, and a pressed sheet-metal back. The design is essentially the same as the Coronet 6-6, but masked to a smaller image format[1]. The Rapier has a two-pin flash connection. The whole thing was much like a larger version of the Coronet Victor. It had a choice of aperture: one for colour and one for black-and-white.
The Mark II had a flatter, more conventional body with leather covering. It added a two-speed shutter, 1/50 and 1/100s, with a PC socket for flash and marked apertures f/16 and f/11. The image format was 16 4x4cm on 120 film. The Rex appears to be the same camera as the Rapier Mk II.
