The Certo Dollina III of 1937, made in Dresden, Germany. Expensive, complicated, beautifully constructed, it was only made for a single year. This one is graced with an amazing period hand stitched and tooled leather case. I thought at first it was merely a repaired factory case with some alluring customization but it appears to be made completely from scratch, better than an original and even more form-fitting to the camera body. Lovely. Not quite the style of trench art, it certainly belongs to the era. The camera itself has one or two modifications - a soldered brass flash contact and other details.
