Well, this camera is a bit OVERPRICED, for the condition it's in, cameras that are Ex+ or better with clean firm vulcanite are selling for $1,500/$1,700, at $1,299 this is not a deal.
Beat up 1943 camera, it`s a perfect shooter/user, but NOT at that price, it's not cheap, it needs about $600+ restoration/shop work (which I could have the camera restored back to the original condition with original shells, I'm having custom coded RLM Grey paint made for the shells, price would be about $500 to $600).
A couple of "underground" deals have already been thrown at this camera, that I know about, I'm NOT interested, or else I would have worked out something already (personaly I think the later Grey 1945 issue cameras make better users) ~ I'm sure it will trade/sell away from the ebay, UNDER $1,000!
Not a deal here folks, find a clean original one for $500 to $700 now that's a deal! ~ and they are STILL out there, private sales, not ebay or camera shops!
