Serial number for Kardan Bi

[Carrotious]

Hi,

I was looking for the serial number on my newly aquired Linhof Kardan B but without any joy.
Anyone have an idea of where it might be on the camera?

Many thanks

It’s on the accessory shoe on the front standard.

So it is...

Is it normal that I don't have a number on accessory shoe? Does this mean that I bought a fake?

No, you may have bought one with a replaced shoe. Or a Kardan 45S that didn’t have a shoe, just a place to install one.
