This is a Graflex Super Graphic 4x5 field camera. I put this together from two parts cameras. I removed the rangefinder and electronics to reduce weight. With lens and shutter, it comes in at 4 lbs. 10 oz. This is a great little field combo. Ground glass, fresnel, and rotating Graflok back are in great shape. Viewing hood is intact, though one of the clips in the back that holds it in has come off. No problem -- the hood still works as normal, but you can knock it off more easily with just the one clip. Bellows are in great shape -- no pinholes. All handle brackets are there, and I'll throw in a rough Graphic leather strap if you want. Focusing rails in great shape -- focusing is smooth, lock works, two infinity stops included. The lens and shutter are a Kodak Epsilon shutter with Ektar 203mm f/7.7 Mount 370 (a British version of the Ektar 203mm). Shutter is a little slow but consistent (see report). Only odd thing about the Epsilon is that it takes the Kodak bayonet flash connection. Glass is good -- no fungus or haze, just a little dust. I'll throw in a couple of 4x5 film holders if you like, so you can start shooting right away. $200 includes shipping in the CONUS. Outside the US, buyer pays actual shipping minus $10.
