Condition

Camera in fair condition with moderate wear to body and case, separations or losses of leather in some areas, but with moderate corrosion/oxidation to some metal components especially around lens; some mechanical parts appear to operate relatively smoothly with the major exception that the drop bed hinge is detached from the camera body, bellows seems as if it would operate otherwise and the shutter operates well at higher speeds, but camera and its attachments have not been tested for functionality (see Catalogue Guarantee). Cirkut attachment lacks accessory gears or winding keys but can rotate manually on tripod head.
