Could you explain what you mean by 'levels of indirection'?

Indirection defined.

Indirection defined.

Sure!

"In computer programming indirection is the ability to reference something using a name, reference, or container instead of the value itself."

In this case, indirection means seeing something through the medium of some other thing.

Here you go. A Welta Weltur 6x9 from the 1930's ? The camera works great. Certo6 did the original overhaul, and then I had the shutter rebuilt by Paul Ebel back in 2010. It works perfectly.

On the leather case for it, it says:

Leopoldine Hurt
== Wien, VII ==
Karl Schwelghoferg, 10/28
​

I think the "Wein, VII" indicates Vienna Austria.

Hmm, the 10/28 part... could that mean October, 1928? Is this possible?
