The plate magazine is at the side of the camera, not at the back as is common with detective cameras, making the camera a rather bulky shape. It has an unidentified lens and a guillotine shutter. There are Watson finders and tripod bushes for vertical and horizontal orientation. The auctioneer's notes at Westlicht state that the patent for the camera was held by a Danish designer, Möller.[1][2]
