That is a shutter and iris assembly from a Fairchild aerial camera shutter, not sure which model number (K-38 is my guess). Video of a similar shutter in its housing can be seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ_db1cg6ao).

For that kind of money you can have my 20" telephoto from a Fairchild f56 aerial camera: lens, shutter, iris and all.

That is tempting, however I am overbooked with projects. At the moment I am stuck improvising a shutter for a Metrogon.
