Arriflex 35 'German Wehrmacht'

Arriflex 35 in the original olive Wehrmacht outfit box, including the matte box and 4 x 60m magazines. The camera has never been restored and is in original used condition, its shows all the early features like the square matte box holder and the film gate made of Pertinax (an early synthetic material). It seems that the set was prepared for the rough field service since it is marked inside the tap door: "Kamera und zugehörige Kassetten sind kältefest bis -50° C, daher keinesfalls schmieren!" (The camera and its magazines are cold-resistant up to -50°C - do not use grease!). The original motor is substituted by a later model. Also included is a rare ARRI Bakelite bayonet cover.
