Default A lovely gift - Yashica-mat

Hi all!
I've got this camera as a gift:

I love (and use!) vintage cameras, but I don't know Yashica mat serie.
Which model it is? How good it is the lens?

It doesn't work I can't make the shutter work, and I noticed that the little
lever under the lens is locked. Maybe it's the self timer, and that's the
reason why the shutter can't move.
What can I do to unlock it?

Thanks a lot!

I vaguely remeber some problem when using the selftimer on any other
setting than X-sync. Apparently it could indeed lock the shutter but I
don't remeber how to fix it.
Anyway, here is your manual
