: Hello all,
: I am seeking info on Combat Graphic 45's.
: Just about anything will help. I have found
: a reprint of a Navy manual and would like to find an
: Army copy if one was printed.
: I have 2 different ones and one seems to have an
: electric shutter release, which is much different from
: the manual one, and the photos in the manual.
From the sounds of it you have a military Graphic, rather than a combat Graphic. Combat Graphics don't have rangefinders, bellows, or at least from the ones I've seen, anything electric.
The only flash available during the war would have been the Graflex flash, not the Graflite. I don't know if it would have had a black finish or not.
It's a bit later than you want, but I have an Army Tech manual from Nov. '54 for the KS4A(1) which is a green Pacemaker with a black Graflite flash in a Zero Haliburton case. At 192 pages and being a bound book it would be a nightmare to copy, but if you have questions, let me know
