The camera is missing the front lens-board and lens, but is otherwise complete with ground glass screen to rear. The bellows are in excellent condition and no pinholes to my knowledge. There is a little piece of wood missing at the front (left) within the area where the lens backboard would have been fitted, but this would not be visible once a lens-board is re-fitted, and can easily be repaired . |
