The Durst Gil is a box camera produced by Durst Phototecnick A.G.
Description
The Gil was the first camera produced by Durst. Its production started in 1938 and ended between 1942 and 1943, when the factory was compelled to switch to war production. It takes 8 exposures 6×9 cm on 120 film. The production of the Gil was resumed after the war by Ropolo, Torino as Ro-To Juve.
The meaning of the name Gil is somewhat unclear. Some fonts reports it was derived from the name of one of the Durst brothers, Gilbert, where other fonts says it was chosen to recall the fascist youth organization GIL.
