Hi ! This are two aluminium Italian Bencini Comet Model 1 cameras for 127 film, manufactured by CMF Bencini in Milan ca. 1948. I purchased one in Vienna a couple of years ago, the other one was a gift from a friend in northern Germany. The remarkable thing about this cameras are their serial numbers: 120.921 and 120.925. The company obviously changed the design of this model within the three pieces between this numbers. The lens, the shutter speed, the labelling, the leathers, the viewer window and the release button is different. This is an example for the thread “ How many is enough ?” … MIK
