Anyhoo, plan on searing some of your eyeballs with pictures from it.

I know you have more than minor interest in old boxes and folders. I hope this one is a major surprise ...

I saw somewhere that this might be a 620 film camera.
Also the old agfa folders usually have leaky bellows.
I have an Agfa RECORD I and I have a light leak in it.... which remnds me I have to get that liquid El. tape you tipped me off to.
It takes great pictures though - although it has the pedestrian Agnar lens.
6x9 is a sweet format! |

Worst case scenario: "The exterior of the camera is in excellent cosmetic condition." No lens or bellows inside ..
