Hello Posted July 23, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm having trouble identifying which this is. Looks chrome but the serial is from the first batch (1930). Welcome, dear visitor!

Can you share the serial number? Chrome plating came in around early 1933, but some items may have been chromed later than the time of manufacture. If you have cameras with nickel furniture and others with chrome furniture, the difference should be obvious. Nickel is more yellow, but unless you have something to compare with, it is difficult to tell. William Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted July 24, 2021 Sorry, yeah, looking at it in better light, it's obvious it's nickel. Thanks for the suggestion as my mind drifted off not thinking about the most obvious way to check it which was in better light, lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
