Description from the seller
Hello, my dear collector friends)))
This lot features an Agfa Billy Compur camera, the first model and first version. Judging by the shutter number and nickel-plated body parts, it was manufactured in 1934. May you have good luck and good fortune in your bidding!
Description and Functionality: The lens is functional – the lens elements are relatively clean (with some dust), the focusing and aperture are smooth and easy to operate. The aperture blades are dry, without excess lubrication. The shutter operates perfectly at shutter speeds "T" and "B," but does not operate correctly at shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/250th of a second: the shutter either releases itself without pressing the shutter release lever, or the cocking lever must be assisted with a finger to return to its original position.
Your package will be securely packaged to protect it from all potential risks during transportation. This item will be shipped from outside the European Union, so your country may or may not charge customs duties according to its customs tariffs. By placing a bid, you confirm that you have no claims in this regard, as I cannot predict which country will purchase the item or what their customs regulations are; it is possible that there will be no customs duties at all. If you would like to combine parcels, this is only possible if you win and purchase both the charity item and the regular item. This way, you save money on shipping and simultaneously help the children and soldiers of Ukraine. Ultimately, I am proud of you and grateful to you for this!!))) If you win the charity item and want to also buy the item to save on shipping, simply write to me immediately so I can delay shipping to save you money.
