Hello,
I am new to this forum, I am afraid. But I am not new to photography or cameras. I worked in the industry for a number of years. Between camera shops and photo labs, probably about 25 to 30 years. I enjoy collecting old cameras, and have had a couple of Graflexes over the years, but find myself getting deeper with them now that I am older.
I need some help identifying my newest Speed Graphic. I just got a 3x4 in great shape. I have noticed something that has me a little perplexed. The serial number on the bed dates it to be an Anniversary model, however the body has features more like the Pacemaker models from about the same time. This may be a dumb question, but we're the features of either model always the same, or did the anniversary model change a bit during it's time?[img][/img]

Welcome Stephen. Pictures are not showing, if you had attempted to attach some. The Pacemaker box has a body release button, which distinguishes from the Anniversary. The front standard has tilt, whereas the Anniversary only has rise. Those are key distinguishing features.
