The Kalart Rangefinder is on the side. I want to order an instruction manual from craigcamera.com and I'm trying to find out the approximate year of manufacture. From the descriptions I've read, I'm guessing it's between 1947 and 1954. Can anyone help? |

It looks like the one I will need is #GRA-063 for the "Pacemaker Graphics (Speed, Crown), 1948". Thanks for your quick replies! |
