    Description

    Description:
    ‘A12N’ is not a factory designation, but one that is used to distinguish between the early and later versions of the A12 back.

    In 1984 a number of changes were made to improve then:
    – the film insert has a single steel arm to retain both spools
    – the release button has a ’12’ on it
    – ‘made in Sweden by Victor Hasselblad’ was added to the side plate
    – film speed reminder is now a slot, rather than a fold down door which was often damaged
    – in 1997 a further change was made that is very noticeable and somewhat overdue – a built in darkslide holder was added!

    Condition details:
    Included (might not be in photographs): This back has a matching insert. Backs and inserts were finely adjusted as a pair at the factory, to ensure a perfect image. The inserts were marked with the serial number so that they could be identified.
    Cosmetic: Very light wear. A few very minor marks to the rear darkslide holder and the darkslide.
    Mechanical: Fully working. Mechanism operates as it should.
    Light seals: The light seal is light tight.
    Graded: Like New Minus
    (Close inspection reveals slight signs of wear. )
