Greetings! I am fairly new to the whole antique camera scene. I am in the middle of rehabilitating a Kodak No. 2 Brownie Autographic. I also recently obtained a Speed Graphic just last weekend and have been trying to work out what's what and how the thing works.

First, I'm interested in working out how old it is. It has both the lens end shutter and the curtain shutter at the back end. There is a side-mounted (right) Kalart rangefinder, a left side handle, a wire site with the rounded top, 4" lens board, the lense is a Kodak Compur, there is no code stamped under the track.

I can probably get a digital pic of it for anyone who thinks they can help ID this one. Once I get an idea of what I've got, I will probably need some help figuring out how to work it.

Thanks in advance!
Gordon

Have you tried the Graflex Model History from the home page? http://graflex.org/speed-graphic/graphic-models.html
Sounds like a Pre Anniversary 1928-1939.
Serial number is probably under the top of the camera box. Open the bed, leave lens in the box, turn upside down and look between the bellows and camera top.
