Classic Trip 35 from April 1979 Date code K 9 4 for April 1979 and is consistent with the serial number 3887002 Checked and tested, all works as it should. Virtually unmarked body, no dents or damage. All in all this is one of the cleanest Trip 35 s I have seen Red flag works and the meter opens and closes the aperture correctly. Lens clear and bright with no trace of fungus. I have fitted new light seals as they always need replacement.
