Linhof Serial Numbers

[Bob Salomon]

Hi,

I would appreciate if you can help me to date Linhof Color s/n:8770

Thanks!

The Linhof Color was made from Sept. 1958 to May of 62 so yours would be towards the end. About 1960.

Hi Bob,

since a few days I own a super technika IV (in black) with the serial number 81435. Today I phoned Linhof in Munich and ask them, in which year the cam was made. They had no idea, because the have no lists from the past. Do you can say me , in which year the cam was made.

Many thanks for your help

It is a V from 1964 but the covering should be grey, not black.

Hallo Bob,

many thanks for your very fast answer.
In the the ownwers certificate from linhof the camera was titled technika IV - and with an handmade notice - Mod VII. The serial number on the certificate and the shoe on the top is identical. The colour is - black ! I dont know what I must do to load up a photo from the camera (I just started in this forum yesterday) that I can show it.
Allow me one question. I´m impressed, because you know more from the linhof cameras than the firm in munich. At linhof they are not able to identify the production year of the cameras from the sixties and seventies. They told me at the phone, they have no database. How you get your informations.

Best regards and many thanks for your help

We have been the Linhof distributor since the late 70's and had data from old employees.
