Here is a VERY rare version of the 4×5 large format Speed Graphic, a VERY EARLY WW2 VERSION of the US ARMY AIR FORCES Camera, Ground Type C-3. Nearly all of these are post 1942 but not this one. The camera itself is a 1939 Anniversary Model Speed Graphic from the second batch ever built (Oct 4 1939) although the USAAF contract plate is dated 1940. Which is why there are still chrome parts on the camera, unlike the later all black WW2 versions.
Both front and rear shutters appear to work very well, exactly as they should. Around the rear, the ground glass and hood are excellent and all the leather covering is intact and nice. Everything mechanical, including the rangefinder is working smoothly.
This is the full cased military set except the original Graflex 3 cell flash handle. Both 5″ and 7″ reflectors are there, Crown No 1 wooden tripod complete with tilting platform and 6 double sided film holders.
You may never see another one of these versions in the case!
Please look at all the photos for the condition….a fantastic display item or for use .
Australian and worldwide insures shipping at cost. If actual shipping is less than quoted I will refund the difference. Please be aware this item is very heavy.Happy bidding and good luck!
