A guide for this piece: about $189, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Condition

The cosmetic and optical assessment is 75–85%, with slight damage and a small amount of dust; fungus, haze, scratches and separation were not reported then. Past operation was described as good. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Ask a camera specialist to check the lens extension, shutter, autofocus, flash, film transport and rewind with fresh batteries and a test roll. An old operational assessment is not a new film test. Keep dust out of the film chamber and do not force the lens barrel or touch the pressure plate. Store dry with the strap supported; inspect the battery compartment for corrosion before fitting a battery.
