Objective (Lens): Dr. Staeble-Werk München Doppel-Anastigmat. It’s a quality optic for its era. A number can be read along the edge of the lens: 50435. This is the manufacturing number of the optic by Staeble-Werk.

Shutter: IBSO model. You can read speeds ranging from 1/100s to 1 second, as well as the B (Bulb) and T (Time) modes. The marking "D.R.G.M." indicates a German registered design. The shutter fires.
Cosmetic condition: The leather (or faux leather) covering shows a beautiful patina. The bellows is in good visual condition and is light-tight.
Accessories: The device has two viewfinders: the “clair-voie” viewfinder (sport) on top and the rotating (bright) viewfinder next to the objective.
Focusing scale: The yellow graduated plate on the rail is clearly legible.
