Many of these cameras which appear on eBay are listed as “presumed working” or “working the last time I used it”. This could mean nothing more than the camera has been found in a loft or a charity shop, and had a wipe over with a damp cloth! We don’t sell cameras which we presume to work, we only sell cameras which DO work!
We thought a nice new covering of leather would set it off nicely. The covering is genuine leather and not vinyl or plastic.
This camera has been stripped down and extensively refurbished. Before a camera is to be sold, we do the following:

Will ship to UK, most European countries (except Italy), and the rest of the world. Any bidders outside of the UK please contact us before buying.
Please note:- The cameras which we sell are refurbished, sometimes well used, but always in great working condition. Most cameras of this vintage will have some minor scuffs and scratches, which will only be cosmetic and in no way affect the functionality of the camera. If you purchase a camera from us please bear this in mind, especially if you are purchasing it as a gift for a friend or loved one.
Unless the listing explicitly specifies “mint condition”, or “like new”, then please expect a few minor blemishes. If there is any major damage to the finish, we will be honest and highlight this in the listing, usually with photos to illustrate. The last thing we want is for our buyers to have any nasty surprises when they receive their purchase!
Please examine the photographs carefully, as they are not stock images, but photographs of the actual camera you will receive.
