I purchased this camera from Jurgen Kreckel (http://www.certo6.com/) who specialises in restoring old folders. He did a CLA (clean, lubricate, adjust) on the shutter, lens and camera as well as refurbished the bellows, always the weak point of folding cameras.
Not sure of its exact year of manufacture, but this model was made between 1937-1954. The camera and case are clean and in good working order. They're at least 50 years old, so they won't be new and shiny. The lens has some haze, but no fungus or scratches. It's not affected the quality of the photos. See a sample at http://www.flickr.com/photos/31521693@N08/sets/72157609912125387/. Negatives and prints available for viewing once I accept your offer.
Please note that this camera does not have a rangefinder or built-in exposure meter.
