Larry Unless it was releathered, it would have been in black. I claim no great expertise in Baby Rolleis, but the Prewar models were to my fairly certain knowledge all finished in black, and the Postwar Baby Grey did not appear until 1957. Did yours have a 3.5 or 2.8 lens? That 2.8/6cm CZJ Tessar could do some great work but the 2.5/6cm Tessar was a better lens by f/4, I believe. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
