Linhof Serial Numbers

[Bob Salomon]

Probably you have Technika 23, 6x9, the "B" below the serial # stands for Biogon, technika's delivered with Zeiss set, had a different viewfinder to accommodate the wider view of the 53mm biogon. the others with the Schneider with the Angulon 65mm , did not have the B

That number is for a 1961 Technika IV 23.

I can find no record of a Linhof having a serial number of 23355, where did you find the number and what size and kind of camera is it?

Sorry, I can't find any Technicha III with that number, or any number remotely close to it. Are you sure it isn't the Medcin? If it is a III DRP should be engraved on the camera. If it is a Medcin then RDP will be on the camera.

About 1960

The letters on the top: DRP DRGM. The camera looks exactly like another one in this thread with knobs on the upper side with an angular RF and serial# close to each other (227xx something and mine 23355). What more is the lens (a 4.5/150 Xenar) is from 1948/49 due to it's serial#. The Cam has the lens# on it's upper side but lack the cameras serial# on the lower side. So I can't say that this and the lens were sold with the camera when new. According to the shutter wich is a dial compur, the serial# says construction 1928!!

I Googled around for DRP DRGM. It was used until 1949 and in some cases as late as 1952.

Bob, does DRP mean for shure that my camera is a Technika III?
I don't know what a "Medizin" looks like...

My last question is: The serial# present at cameraquest on Linhof III type 1, 22xxx-23xxx, where do they got them from?
