OstLicht Camera Auction Spring 2023

OstLicht Gallery, Absberggasse 27, 1100 Wien, Österreich, Austria

We are pleased to be able to present the camera auction on June 1, 2023 at 2 p.m. in OstLicht, gallery for photography. 1991 was the year of birth of the first Leica shop worldwide, in 2001 my team and I started the WestLicht auction house in Vienna. After 34 successful auctions with countless world record prices for cameras, I handed the camera auctions over to a group, also to concentrate on the WestLicht Photo and Camera Museum, the OstLicht Photo Gallery and the OstLicht Photo Auctions. However, when I was recently offered a private lover's fantastic collection, I couldn't resist the temptation. Especially since this man acquired most of the pieces he collected from me over the course of many years and always attached great importance to perfect condition and originality. The result is a collection that we are now offering with great pleasure in this auction. The traditional OstLicht Photo Auction begins on June 2 at 5 p.m. CEST. We cordially invite you to come to Vienna or to participate as a long-distance bidder. Our long-standing auctioneer Niki Schauerhuber and the team look forward to welcoming you.

Fast neue graue Militärkamera Nr.388005 in unrestauriertem Originalzustand mit Gravur 'Fl. Nr.38079' und 'Luftwaffen-Eigentum' auf der Deckkappe, perfekte graue Belederung, funktionierender Verschluss mit rotem Verschlusstuch, neuwertiges Elmar 3,5/5cm Nr.582492 mit Gravur 'Luftwaffen-Eigentum', Deckel. Mit grauer Bereitschaftstasche, gestempelt 'Luftwaffen-Eigentum' (unkenntlich gemacht). - Kamera und Objektiv wurden am 3. August 1942 an die Luftw.Bln. mit der Bestellnummer 29913 geliefert.
