Interesting modifications.  The conversion to 120 film is fairly 
common, but the conversion to a Schneider lens taken from a Linhof is 
one I have not seen before.  It doesn't say the rangefinder works with 
this lens.  Unless it was also modified for the 135mm focal length, it 
won't work.  I doubt the camera was used by the Navy with this lens 
modification.  I think the starting bid is too high.
