Still to arrive:
An early version of the Focal Plane Imperial, essentially the same as a Triple Imperial but with a Focal Plane shutter as well as a Between Lens front mounted shutter. Made between about 1907 and 1914.
This will be my next restoration project, the front shutter works but I'll fit a new blind anyway, and also restore the rear shutter, until I take the shutter to bits I won't know whether it;s the 1907 or 1908 version. The 1907 version has a one slit Focal Plane shutter with speeds of 1/100 to 1/500. the 1908 has 1/20 to 1/1000 and has three slits.
Should be fun to restore.
