If there is such a camera--it most likely was reworked by an individual. To my knowledge, the factory never put one like that out, unless, it was a special order unit. Bert

Thanks for the reply. I suspect that it is a non factory modification bur the lack of features as mentioned is unusual andbit had to come from the factory this way.
Does the Part # and contract # mean anything to you. Incidentally I have several super graphic shells and some rangefinder parts including some that are factory reconditioned.
Regards

The description sounds like something the government would have ordered for the military. May have been specially made for the photo service. Just my $.02 worth.

The part number can't be the graflex serial number as it predates super graphics (but it is a 4x5 speed from '46)

I've never found anybody that could trace a government contract number with any success.
