Rare 1952 US Army PH - 47 - H Military 4x5 Graflex Speed Graphic Vintage Camera
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1068094 | Brand: Graflex |
Here is a very unusual opportunity to get a rare Korean War era US Army PH-47-H Graflex Speed Graphic camera. These cameras were tough as nails and this one still works nearly 70 years on. The original military contract plate is on top and there is a Signal Corps acceptance stamp on the drop bed.
This one is in generally very good but used condition as you might expect. The only shortcoming is that the front/rear shutter selector switch is missing...however it is set on rear shutter... so the focal plane cloth shutter can be used and the front shutter can be tripped by simply using the actuator arm (the 'paddle') on the firing lever. The front shutter works well at all speeds including B and T, maybe a slow slow on 1/2 and 1 second. The rear focal plane shutter is snappy and sounds pretty accurate. Everything else appears to work as it should. The rear focus hood and ground glass are in great order.
Included is the 3 cell Graflex flash (Graflite type) with 7 inch reflector and an unused flashbulb.
This is a great chance to get a real US military camera for display or even use!
Australian and world wide insured postage at cost. If actual shipping is less than quoted I will refund the difference. Happy bidding and good luck!
ps. Have a look at my other camera items for sale.
