Hello guys,
Below are the pictures of a gun camera that I am trying to identify. I have searched online for hours now but I haven't found any models that resemble it.
Here is what I know so far:
- It is a 16mm gun camera - the magazine is a Kodak 16mm Type G and most likely around WW2 (the patent information on the magazine tag says 1933-1936)
- There must be a lens on it that is missing. The mount is there but there is no lens or any other accessory
- I opened the whole thing up but other than the magazine, there are no identifying marks or tags anywhere on or inside the camera.

The camera seems to be in pretty good mechanical condition and if I can find a manual and the necessary lens, I am planning to restore it.
On a related note, does anyone know if it is still possible to get the film in the magazine developed?
Any help is most appreciated...
Deniz
