I'm 100% confident this camera came out of the factory with just glue on the rear standard size of the bellow.
Also, beware, Linhof Germany do not have any parts for the early IV's, I had to rebuild the plastic swing lever with epoxy as it was totally stripped.
Now i have basically a brand new 1956 Technika with a nice patina on the leatherette. Wonderful cameras to work on.
