Old Kodak camera

Panda

Found a Kodak Six 20 "Brownie" D at home yesterday,
its a really old camera, some sites say made in 1946.

Looks like this

it takes Kodak 620 film, does anyone know if you can still get that size/type of film?

620 film is the same size as 120, but the spools are different sizes. You have two options here: either grind down the 120 spools to fit a 620 camera, or re-spool the 120 film onto a 620 spool. Generally, grinding down 120 spools is preferable, as the factory tension is maintained on the film (winding your own tends to result in loosely-rolled film).

I know a store in the US that sells 120 film with spools ground to 620 size. They only charge $1 extra per film over the regular price of a 120 film. Their website is still under construction, but contains all the relevant contact info. Its at: http://www.bluemooncamera.com/. They do ship to Europe.

Thanks for that norma,
on a closer look the camera is a bit damaged, there seems to be a piece of foam falling in front of the lens, i thought it was dirt that could be wiped off originally but its not goin nowhere.

what about development of the film though?
i have no idea here, do you need a dark room and develop it yourself or can you get someone else to do it?

Any lab that develops 120 film should be able to develop 620. I do my own processing, so I can't recommend a place, but someone here should be able to recommend somewhere.
