What is the model of my Linhof camera

[schabert]

I have just registered to the forum.

I have a Linhof camera but I do not know which model.Could anyone advise?

On the top of the camera, there is the following inscribed: Munchen 36020.

I am looking for the proper manual for the camera and, as well, how to clean it.

Thank you.

Linhof hasn’t had them in decades. So you will just have to look online.

This is a very old lll. Unless someone changed the accessory shoe with the serial number on it!

Are you sure this is the right manual for the camera. If I compare the front of my camera to the front of the camera on the manual, they are not the same. I have attached comparison photographs.

Somehow, I cannot find the manual that shows the exact design as my camera. And I do not know what is the function I was a Lever on the left as I lighted in the close-up photograph. Whether I move it to the right or the left position it doesn't do anything. Maybe it's broken.

There are letters engraved on the back frame. Do they stand for Deutsh Patent or Reich Patent?

DBP means it was made after the war. So it is a lll. RBP would have been made during or before the war and that could not be a lll.
