Description from the seller

Foldable Tropical cheek camera with red bellows

Lens/shutter says Darlot Paris serial nr. 9167
Woodwork builder unknown, shows similarities with the Balbreck Ainé model.
Bellows are fine.
The shutter needs maintenance.
The backside of the lens is slightly deformed as can be seen on the photo.
This does not disturb the lens from being dismantled or being put back together.
There was some fungus inside that I cleaned, some really small traces are present, but invisible with the naked eye.
The front lens glas is glossy and beautiful in general but has an (almost) invisible really small scratch.
I could not photograph , and hardly see it, but I can feel my nail when I rub the lens surface.

No glass or filmholders

Pickup in Antwerp is possible
