Description:
A Balda Juwella with Juwella-Anastigmat 105mm f 6.3 lens in unbranded three-speed Art Deco-style shutter, which suggests this is probably a 1936 model. Note that the shutter decoration is partially covered by the focus and aperture scale. I haven t removed this cover but I suspect Balda used the same shutter plate for different apertures and lenses, and added these cover plates when needed.

This camera was purchased during RAF trips to India on the 14th to 21st of December 2023
