Hi, recently I got a springback for a project (want to put in on an older camera to make it more practical in use). Now I had already some filmholders i.e. Fidelity Deluxe 9x12 and Sinar "4x5 inch für Film 9x12" however none of these fit (they are too wide).
Therefore my question: what kind of springback is this (there is no name on it). And what kind of filmholders will fit?
thanks
Ron

2x3 (6x9 in metric) Graflok, also called International, back. Not made by Graflex. I have no idea what it fits.

There's one on my 3x4 Speed.

they must be pretty rare as I don't remember seeing an accessory like a roll back - to fit 3x4..other than those odd ones that fit the 3x4 RB graphics with that weird bail type back

Not really -- it's just that 3x4 Graphics went out of fashion after WW2.
Incidentally, the 3x4 GRAFLEX back weighs a whole pound more than the Graflox back. ( I bought one to use with my 3x4 Super D Graflex, and the bag-mags which I love).

The ground glass measures: 9 x 12 cm
Here is a picture of the back with the ground glass and a ruler:

OK, nominal 4x5 and from a camera with a rotating back.
