I have no info on this radio other than for a Radiomuseum page, so I'l defer to that. That page refers to this radio as a "Dovunque K7 2605" model, but I found nothing on my example indicating this other than for the 2605 model number.
This is definitely not a coat pocket radio: it's a small portable radio or a small tabletop radio. It's a beautiful set, even if this example is not in the best condition -- I usually don't buy radios that aren't in perfect or near-perfect condition, but this one was too pretty to pass up, a great example of Italian design. A beautiful bright red cabinet with a gray back half, a large brass-rimmed tuning dial on a gray speaker grille, and two black-and-gold badges on the face: the Condor name, and a "K7" badge with a three-pronged crown above it. Nice! The Condor is powered by a pair of big 3-volt batteries -- see the photo below.
