Thanks! |

I have a photo of the top, as mine had a near mint original handle. I don't know how to post the photo here so I will e-mail it to you. Anyone else who wants the photo, please e-mail me at j.p.mose@lmco.com Regards, J. P. Mose |

Bert used the handle on one of his own 5x7" Press Graflices as a model. In the process, we looked at various catalogue images, and Bert compared the cameras in his possession, and we realized that there were quite a few handle styles on different models and that they were fitted individually to the camera, because the holes for the rivets on one camera would be slightly different from the holes on another of the same model. Here's a photo of Bert's fine handiwork-- http://www.apug.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8805&d=1192635051 |
