It looks very much like the Periflex Interplan body here:

Looks very much like a Periflex 3 or Gold Star, but blanked off for use as a microscope/telecope/oscilloscope recording camera (hence the Technical inscription). I've never read anything about that model in any of the histories, so it's probably rare-ish although whether it's valuable is another matter.

Periflex range history's here www.corfield.org/camera/ although it doesn't mention yours.

Hello!

So, while junk shopping for cameras today I picked up an interesting one for £5. The casing is battered and looks like it's had a few odd jobs on it in its time. Most noticeably the camera has its front cover replaced (at least it looks that way, anyway).

The camera is a Corfield. That's all I know! It's branded with

'Corfield TECHNICAL GR IV BRITAIN' as you can see in this picture below:

It also has a serial number and some human engraving that marks I/ME/-/1/1.

As mentioned earlier, the camera appears to have been played with a lot, cosmetically. Every other mechanism of the camera seems to be working perfectly!

The lens also seems to be puzzlingly unbranded by any numbers or name.

I'm having a great deal of trouble tracking down something similar on the internet with the information I have and I'm wondering if anyone here could help!!

Here are some pictures of the camera and I hope someone could give me a bit of light!

I've documented the Ruvinal Mod. IV, another japanese folder unveiled (undocumented until recently, I've had access to two out of three known cameras, even owning one)

Feel free to modify it as you consider appropriate.

Thanks everyone for this last batch of donations. As things stand now, I think the wiki hosting fund looks good into September or so… (it depends a bit on whether we need to ratchet up our resource level as traffic increases.)
