Despite trying several searches looking for any postings on war time 3c cameras with red shutter blinds I have found very little except some learned listings of serial numbers and comments on post war 3c's. I was looking for somewhere to post the fact that I recently got a 1940 3c with red blinds and a matching 1940 50mm Elmar from a fellow collector. Having read several different stories about the origins of the red blind fabric and its oozing of black sticky rubber over the past 70-80 years I was very pleased to see that the blinds are in good order on this camera. If fact the whole body is in very nice condition, as is the lens. I put a roll of FP4+ through it last weekend and everything is working as it should, better than expected. The pictures below were scanned from A4 size darkroom prints.
