Further cameras, such as the Konica Type G, were made after 1945 for Japan's Self-Defense Forces or for other countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great example of the Japanese aerial camera based off of the Type F-8 Fairchild camera. This example is only the shell and the actual camera is no longer inside of the shell. Additionally, one of the wooden handles is partially broken off.

The flip-up sight still works, but we have no information on how to operate this piece. The back is inscribed in white paint T–,55. The set measures roughly 14 x 14½ x 13 ¾”.
