I have never seen a shorter/longer one offered F*S* where-u-know.

I just measured a paddle that I'd taken off one of my 2x3 Crowns. 9 mm.

Just measured the one on my 2x3 Pacemaker Speed - 13mm.
It would be interesting to know just how many different sizes Graflex made!

Mine seem to be 9mm, 13mm and 19mm too, depending on the camera size and diameter of the shutter. Can't find any other sizes in the parts bin.

Cheers,

well there you go! Just when you think everything is normal up pops Jim from lakesgraphic with a late entry of 27mm (ebay item 260674420070). So there are at least 4 sizes of shutter paddles.
