Description from the seller

In an auction: an exceptional variant of the Voigtländer Bessa folding camera, a classic of German engineering from the thirties. This model stands out for the presence of the rare metal sport-frame viewfinder, partially extended on the right side, designed for rapid action framing. It is a collectible piece of great interest, perfect to enrich a display dedicated to the history of analog photography in the twentieth century. The folding body features a black finish with the Voigtländer brand elegantly impressed on the top of the front. The camera is fitted with a central Compur shutter and a Voigtar anastigmatic lens, a famous pairing for the era. Included with the lot is its original protective leather case in dark brown, characterized by a front metal-shaped closure and equipped with its adjustable leather strap. From an aesthetic point of view, the item preserves a beautiful vintage patina with signs of time and use that underscore its authenticity and historical value. The metal finishes and the mechanical components of the bellows maintain a solid appearance. We invite you to carefully view all the images in the photo gallery, which complement the description, to evaluate every visual detail. A fascinating lot rich in history for true connoisseurs.
