Classic and rare vintage Argus C3 35mm rangefinder camera, often nicknamed the “Brick” for its iconic all-metal construction. Based on research, I have determined this camera is a rare early Post-War production from either late 1946 or early 1947 (research information is in pictures). Serial number is 03593.
Condition:
* I could not figure out the rangefinder (may work/may not) and the viewfinder has two very small black specks which will not affect pictures.
* Camera has been tested and is in good working condition otherwise.
* Shutter fires properly at all speed settings. (Pictured showing opening aimed at camera case)
* Film advance and rewind operate smoothly.
* Lens is clean overall with normal signs of age.
* Body shows cosmetic wear consistent with age and normal use.
You will receive the exact item pictured. Please reach out with any questions.
