Condition

Excellent visual condition with age-related wear especially to case including some peeling to leather, losses to paint, rust to some metal components, and top handle-holder is ripped; mechanical parts seem to operate smoothly, hood and bellows seem to operate properly with the exception of a small hole at upper corner of hood; the mirrors produce a very dark and likely internally-dusty image; and camera has not been tested for functionality (see Catalogue Guarantee).
