FS:

A vintage 1954-1956 KW Praktina FX (4th version), with a 50mm f2.8 Zeiss Tessar lens.
For Display, Repair, or Parts.
Film advance and mirror seem to operate properly.
Shutter curtain is balky and sticks open.
Aperture cocking mechanism on the lens works, but focus and aperture rings are stuck and don't move.
Ding at top of prism.
Camera could use a thorough cleaning.
Sold AS-IS, not thoroughly tested.
A nice project!

See photos!
Bottom half of leather case included, but not shown in photos.

Asking $50, includes CONUS shipping, PayPal fees, and a donation to Photrio.
