Linhof Serial Numbers

No, it is really 25769 Attachment 210259

These cameras are often 50+ years old so it is quite possible for parts to have been replaced or interchanged including the shoe with the serial number.
The tan leather indicates a IV or V. The IV had a tan or ivory interior and bed and the V was dark almost black inside. There is also a spot on the body under the leather with the SN engraved.

The current Master Technika was introduced 48 years ago this past September. Virtually all older models are 50 or more years old.

Bob, do you agree with that? Where would be the 'spot on the body under the leather with the SN'? Under the shoe? Could this be a III or IV Technika?

Thx in advance!

Hi bob,

1977. Operationally the same, features, the same, parts, could be differences like shape of knob, placement and type of strap lugs.

It’s a IV.

This is a photo of the base:

Can you confirm it is a T IV (before I buy it)?
Thx so much for your help!
