Okay. Here is the lowdown. From what I can see, the 'Crown View' is supposed to come with a wooden back that takes wooden sheet film holders. The one that I received with my camera is actually a frankenstein type job with the wooden backplate from the 'Crown View' and the metal back plate from the 'Graphic View' fastened to it. Mounted in the metal back plate is a 'Graphic' back with a cut sheet of frosted glass tarred in place.

I definately had the wool pulled over my eyes on this purchase.

Now to move on, I was hoping that someone out there might be able to set me up with either a 'Crown View back' or a detailed schematic of one so that I may build my own. A schematic of the original wood/brass recessed lens board as well as the wooden film holders would also be a great help. Any help would be great.

Thanks.
