Anybody  interested in buying a 4x5 Army Signal Corps Speed Graphic in poor 
condition?  Serial Number 839xxx. Make me an offer. 
It has many of the usual  Speed Graphic parts, including the Graflex 
viewfinder on top, the Kalart range  finder on the right side, the flash-gun 
brackets, 
the focal-plane shutter  assembly, the trigger to trip the shutter, the 
flip-up sports finder, the  bellows assembly and a small metal plate on top 
inscribed Signal Corps US Army  Camera PH 47 H , order No. AF33 
(O38)7715.The plate 
also has a separate  three-digit Army serial number. 
The missing parts include the  leather handle, rear ground glass,  lens 
board 
and lens and the front piece  of leather. Most of the remaining leather is 
there but scuffed up. It would  require major surgery to restore or would be 
useful for parts.
