hey all I just got a XLSW with a S# W20**8
it has a super angulon 47mm with S# 896**99
BY S# this looks to be a 1965 maybe
so I went to my copy of shutter finger & find NO XL S#!!!!!!
I also have a XLS S# X406*1 it has a 95mm rodenstock
S#567**04 BY S# this looks to be a 1965 maybe also

Well, the XLS should have a code in roughly the same place as the XLSW but the ink could be faded, the body was stamped someplace else for whatever reason, ???? . With Graflex no one knows. Book 1 does not have XL s/n's. Book 1 ends in early 1960's. I do not know who, if anyone, has book 2.
Bright sunlight and a good magnifying glass may be your best bet. |
