New to this forum and I would like to ask how scarce this camera set is: Speed Graphic Signal Corps PH-47J in green case with accessories that appears nearly unused...I will try to add images. Thanks for your help. Ed Hicks[/img]

Hi Ed,

They are quite a rare camera, not nearly as many made as the later OD green KE-12(1). The PH-47-J, incidentally the first green Speed Graphic made, was first made about 1947 and its replacement the KE-12(1) about 1953.

Cheers,
Bruce
