Looks like a Yashica rangefinder of some sort, actually a lot of different brands do rangefinders that look like that.

It's a Yashica Electro. I have one, they're super fun :]

At a quick glance, it's probably a 35mm camera... i would guess minolta or something like that, but seems like they answered up there already :]

They're all basically the same. All the ones after G have gold-covered electronics, and your list goes from old to new. You're probably better off getting a new one as they're more likely to be in working order. The most common are probably the GT and GSN, if you want to get the silver with black body.

Oh, and they were all made in the late 1960s to 70s so they use mercury batteries which you can't get any more. You've have to look up battery adapters for them if you actually want to use them.
