WWII German Soldiers – Agfa Compur Rapid – Manufactured 1938 – 1941 – Shutter Moves – (Sold)
Interestingly, many German Soldiers carried personal cameras and this one came from a lot of WW2 material recently bought on auction in Latvia. Produced between 1938-41 this version is fitted with 3.5 Solinar lens in a Compur Rapid shutter. Could do with a clean, but everything is there and the lens can be moved, cocked and shutter moves on release. This is a very compact camera and could likely fit in the bottom tunic pocket. Price shown is posted tracked worldwide.
