Hi guys!
I just picked up off a Facebook marketplace listing a gorgeous wood and brass field camera I plan to shoot paper positives in but I'd love to fully confirm it's identity/veracity. I've found two similar models it matches closely with, the George Hare new patent and the John piggot 'Tourist', but neither match exactly, the key point im comparing with is the two front clamping bolts and the folding mechanism
Unknown wood and brass field camera
If anyone could shed some light or help I'd this camera or even just confirm it's authenticity or if it's a reproduction I would be hugely appreciative! It seems it crazy good condition if it is an1890s era camera
