Gatto A.G. Sonne C + 5cm 3.5 Analogue camera

This camera is one of the series of Leica copies made in Italy by Antonio Gatto, a former employee of Officine Galileo, in 1953, using the disused factory facilities in Pordenone. The camera uses a standard 39mm lens mount. The rangefinder has two small rectangular windows, and the minimum distance is separated from the rangefinder; the plate is engraved with “Germany patent.” This camera is functional, very well kept, almost without signs of use, evidently used very little. The shutters are intact. The lens is an Elinar 5 cm f/3.5 and is well kept with no oxidation, no fungi or mold, nor scratches on the lenses. Its original leather case is in excellent condition.

Estimate:£1,675.18
