Condition
Case excellent with some routine wear to edges and mild to moderate bending of leather walls, but still structurally sound; camera very good visual condition with age-related wear to case including some peeling to leather and relatively heavy corrosion/rust to metal especially the screws; mechanical parts each appear to operate smoothly except aperture curtain will not move (the turning knob seems stuck), hood and bellows seem to seal properly but one part of hood support will not stay locked; the mirrors produce a viewable but internally-dusty image; camera has not been tested for functionality (see Catalogue Guarantee).
