Correction: I just spoke to the owner, and after pressing a button he 
discovered that his camera too had exchangeable lenses....8-))
The camera appears to have been pre-owned by someone working for 
Schiphol Airport, who recorded the move from the old airfield to the 
new airfield/buildings with it....that is about 20 years 
ago....perhaps Gary can even trace the original buyer through serial 
numbers? Just out of curiosity of course, might also be able to trace 
him through the current owner.

And to tease you guys a little bit more: the same guy once obtained
a Noblux 4x5" projector (perfect for Noblex 5x12cm shots, and at one
time they even intended to make a motorized 120/220 format
strip-feed!) for US$250 on an auction....he said he *might* be
willing to sell it.....mmmm....;-))
