Thanks, Mike, for posting the pics of your Duo and adding its vital stats to the
database.

The 'French Connection' aspect to Duo's is interesting, although I suspect that
you might have got yours via Fleabya US, seeing you mentioned '$22' rather than
20 Euros or whatever.

If you look at 'Files', then 'Adverts From Round The World', you'll see that the
fifth entry is a French advert for the Duo Ser 11, kindly scanned and sent to me
by Bernard Plazonet (de Chamalieres). It's interesting from a couple of
aspects. One is that it's for the lower-end version with F4.5 Kodak Anastigmat
lens and Pronto shutter, which doesn't seem to have been sold in the US for
example, although it surely was in the UK seeing I've got one complete with
original purchase receipt dated 1941. (Gosh - wasn't there a war on then?)

The other is that the camera shown in the advert definately has an accessory
shoe on the top cover for the Kodak Rangefinder, unlike say the local-market
German models which don't. However, now the plot thickens, Moriarity ......
I have a French-market Duo 11, ie with writing 'en francais' on the depth of
field circular scale, but with NO accessory shoe. In other words - it's the
same as the German-market models, apart from the writing difference.

So, Mike, if in the course of your travels, visits to Bievre, etc, you ever get
the chance to find anything more about the local French situation with the Duo
620, please post about it. At the moment I'm a bit purplexed because of the
variation between the one in the advert and the one in my own collection!
