All of its blind-stamped numbers match, and both the lens and the lens board are original.The camera is made of mahogany and cherry, with tongue-in-groove joints. There are a few minor marks consistent with normal use, but for the most part the camera is unusually nice, especially given its age. Original brass fittings and brass screws throughout. Original Scovill Waterbury lens with an aperture wheel that still rotates easily. Lacquered brass parts exhibit minimal wear consistent with age and use.
