Luftwaffe Aerial Surveillance camera complete on e-stand

[rkmilitaria]

Rare German aerial surveillance camera from a downed German plane. This is the Handkammer HK 12.5 / 7x9, which bares the codename GXN. Complete in it's case, it's list of contents and the 2 colour filters orange and red. The bottom of the case is quite damaged, but nevertheless a very nice and complete set. Case is well marked with the luftwaffe BAL stamp. The leather strap from the camera is still present. A very nice piece.

I believe the Swedish company Hasselblad used this camera to develop their famous cameras.

Interesting. There is also a Ukranian copy/clone of this camera. It is called Kiev.
