Richard,
The last picture shows what in lesser cameras are called
"Zeiss Bumps",, right?
The pictures are clear enough, couldn't you see them?
Jerry
I see them now. Also I think what I thought was
brassing was, after all, an artifact of the lighting. In one
of the photos of the front of the camera the same effect
makes it look like the accessory ring of the finder lens is
brassed but the other photos show definitely that its not.
There is clearly an orange light somewhere. I think what
looks like the front trim of the shutter cover being peeled
is also a figment of the lighting or out of focus photo. And
NO I don't think the pictures are clear enough, they are
pretty awful.
I suppose everyone on this list knows what Zeiss bumps
are although they could as well be called Graflex bumps.
They may be caused partly by exposure of the camera to humid
conditions because they do not seem consistent enough to be
due exclusively to adhesive or something in the leather
causing the brass screws to corrode.
