Attention!! The camera shows all the signs of full functionality, but the description of the functionality is presented to potential buyers for information about the performance of the mechanisms and optics, but I am not a manufacturer’s guarantor and do not provide a guarantee for this equipment. I am just a collector and a passionate lover of vintage cameras, and as a doctor I simply describe the patient’s diagnosis, but I give the right of treatment to the future buyer depending on whether he will take photographs with it or will simply put it in his collection on a shelf for the sake of beauty and atmosphere. To avoid claims: the item presented in the lot is sold as a museum or collection exhibit, without a guarantee of full functionality or use for its intended purpose, since it has not been tested on film, its final photographs have not been taken, the warranty period provided by the manufacturer has expired more than 60 -80 years ago, and the country in which it was made and purchased also disappeared from the world map -!! By placing a bid or purchasing an item at a fixed price, you confirm that you have no claims regarding the above!!
