This poor Barnack has had a HARD life.

Somehow, I doubt the seller when he says he tested a roll of film and it's a good condition camera. I also doubt he'll get his asking price for it.

It has character, though, and if it does work it would be an interesting user camera.

"I know nothing about this camera , but i have test a roll of film , it is a good condition camera ."

He must know enough to get a roll of film into it to test it. Hmmmmm.

But oh to own a Leica. Maybe not that one though...

Well, in that condition, I would not put it in my mouth - you don't know where it has been. So obviously he would not know if it was minty. It probably tastes more salty.

It may be the way the light is hitting it but the RF cam looks triangular like the Russian ones.

It's an "aged" Fed 1.....the VF window is SQUARE and as Nick R. noticed the RF cam is triangular.

This is not a rangefinder, but it's almost MINT - just a few parts missing.
