But alas that data was only good for the Government. Unless you can find a serial number on the camera itself I can't help |

I looked at the pages.. and I thought it was a Graphic View II but the front plate on the camera says "Graphic View" Graflex General Precision" this is a black camera. not the red like on the website. ________ Vehicle insurance dicussion |

And, no, I have no clue where the other four digits came from. <blockquote><blockquote> Dan </blockquote></blockquote> |
