About this camera.

The Yashica Electro 35 GTN — one of the most beloved Japanese rangefinders of the 1970s, famous for its smooth 45mm f/1.7 Yashinon lens and whisper-quiet electronically-controlled shutter. This one is a showpiece / display camera only: the lens mechanism is dented (as shown in photos), and the battery cap is missing, making it non-functional for shooting.
