This view camera is a 4x5 Special Serial #271. The 4x5 Special is the exact same body as the 5x7 View. The only difference is the back and the name plate on the front of the camera. In the early days of production this camrea was called a 4x5 Deardorff View. The name 4x5 Special was a way to differ the two cameras. When a customer wanted a 4x5 back it was a special order item.
