Hi All,
Sometime lurker, first time poster. I recently acquired what I thought was a 4x5, but measuring the opening in the back, appears to be 8x12 camera, with a xenar 4.5/135 in compur shutter. From the serial number (243175), the lens dates from ~1928, and overall the camera seems in pretty good condition aside from needing the back reattached and a new screen? I can't find any identifying marks on the case or camera body. Any input or information about this camera that you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated--I'm rather new to LF. Sorry about all the pics, just trying to be thorough. Thanks in advance.
