That French Bloke
This is one of the first “Verascope” produced in Paris by the Richard company. 1160 is its serial number, making it certainly the earliest one still in existence. This number is also engraved inside the body of the camera, making it a matching number camera.

Ceci est un des premier exemplaire du celebre Verascope Richard. Il porte le numero de serie 1160 ce qui en fait vraisemblablement un des plus anciens Verascopes encore en existence. Ce numero esst bien gravé a la main dans le corp de l’appareil, il est “Matching number”. Comme tous les “Early” Verascope, il n’as pas de pas de vis pour la fixation sur un trépied.
Il a visblement beaucoup servi, mais fonctionne encore parfaitement. Dans la boite, une note manuscrite atteste que les objectif d’origine on été remplacé en Septembre 1930 par des boyer plus performant que les originaux.
La boite qui l’accompagne est elle aussi en bon état. Dans le chargeur, il reste quelques plaques de verre. Deux “Dark Slides” sont vendues avec l’appareil.

It looks like it had a lot of use but was well cared for. Inside the box, a hand writen note explains that in September 1930 the original lenses were replaced by the Boyer ones that are still present.
The camera is sold with its original box that is still in good condition. Two dark slide are provided.
