Antique / Untested / Display Condition. This camera is being sold as-is for historical display, restoration, or parts. The exterior leatherette skin shows significant, honest age wear, with visible scuffing, edge peeling, missing fragments, and surface cracking across the main housing and door panels [image_4RE_ZL.png, image_vZaQEw.png, image_nRI79N.png]. The structural metal latch steps open, and the door snaps shut securely [image_4RE_ZL.png, image_vZaQEw.png]. Bellows show typical age stiffness but appear physically intact upon extension [image_4RE_ZL.png, image_Dt7m77.png]. Mechanical movements, glass clarity, and precise shutter/aperture timings are uncalibrated and functionality is not guaranteed. Please review all high-resolution macro photos closely to judge the exact aesthetic patina before completing your purchase.
