Crazy. Does that mean this is a prototype, or just from the very first batch? V system was introduced on the market in 1957.

Not likely to be a prototype, but if it is I'll have to label it a collectors piece and raise the price.

I've had it for a number of years, but haven't used it recently. I have another 6x4.5 back and frankly don't need 2. I've never paid attention to the date code; given it's condition it's seen very little use. I took another look at the exposed gear and it shows no more wear than any of my A12 backs.

But, if this is indeed CT, then it should be a 16 and not an A16 back. In other words, it does not lock at frame 1. Also, the very reason I mentioned 1956 was because 'blads came out with this sort of gadget in '57.

Edit: The OP DOES mentioned this as a 16 back and not A16. My bad.
