Godday contribusers - I'm a newcommer to this forum, in which I have gathered much information over a couple of years. Well, the above posts made me decide, now is the time to join in.
Question on production year of Technika 5x7": The only number I can find on my pre-V speciman is in the assessory shoe, writing 39452. Would this be the production number, and does it indicate the production year?
Also, on the back swing frame it reads D.B.P. and A.P.a.? Are these related to type, production "batch" or the like??
Will be gratefull of any hints or help, thank you.
Have now sampled the camera, a 7 kg tripod, a room in the cellar with a Durst 139, and so eager to get started in this format - fresh air, beutifull greytones -- and exercise.

39452 is a Technika III from about 1955.

A.B.P. is the German Patent Office. A.P. a. are also business abbreviations.

Thank you very much for your help and quick reply Bob.
It gives a personal and friendly feeling to a beautifully craftet working tool now knowing it is allmost as old as I.

Will my Super Technica take a panoramic linhof master technica roll back?
Thanks

If it is a 4x5 then any 45 with a Graflock back (international back) accepts the Linhof Techno Rollex 6x12 back.
