im doing a cla on my 2x3, and noticed the mirror has the reflective surface on top, thats not consistent to any other rb ive owned. im wondering if at some point it was flipped, though the screws have no indication of ever being removed.

could i also get a build date for this thank you
372713

372713 is about 100 from the end of a order for 1000 cameras listed 12/5/1945 with the next order listed 5/1946. While it is not known how fast they built the cameras its assumed they were produced within weeks of the listing and shipped out to the dealers with the next listing based on incoming orders or requests.

Graflex used both rear surface and front surface mirrors in the SLR's depending on the era in which they were made and the technology available at that point in time.

thank you once i removed the front plate , there is a stamping in the wood " 95 "

thank you for the information

95 is a production stamping likely used to keep fitted parts together during production.

could you tell me the date on this 5x7 series B ? build # 101 . sn#158536
it is a pretty darn near mint camera !

158536 is in a batch of 150 serial numbers issued 9/1/27.

great, thank you
