Series A1 and full cast aluminum bulb holders... I'd say it's likely 1977-1978 production. The domes are incorrect, they appear to be Dietz (possibly Grote) and not FedSig domes. Still, $100 for a model 11 that works is pretty good, they ain't exactly falling from the sky.

Buy it! Bulbs and the correct domes are relatively easy to find.


You won't be sorry for making the purchase but will be kicking yourself in the future if you pass on it.

Motors?? There is only one motor in a Model 11. In addition, those are the wrong lenses. New ones are still avalable from Federal. When ordering just order lenses for the model 100. They are the same.
