Description
The Nettel Duplak is a combination camera, described in McKeown as "basically a plate camera with an attached rollfilm back".
Double extension black leather bellows; U-style lens standard with rising & cross front.; Brilliant finder with spirit level (still has liquid intact). Two scales for film & plate. Mixed aluminium and wood body.
Leather covering is generally in good condition, although there are some scars and wear marks. The only obvious deficiency is that the dark slide is missing that is required to cover the rollfilm when removing the back.
