Alexander clone of an early lever-type Deckel FP1. I have read over on PM that there were some changes (apparently gear pressure angles for the heads and pulley size differences) - meaning possibility for non interchangeability with Deckel parts.

For the ask price I'm not overly impressed by the corrosion which could well extend to the ways. Might be a resto-rescrape project for someone at <50% the ask price. But 3k and a ton of work (and potentially parts) later and you have a clone of an early lever type FP1?
