Goodmorning everyone.
Some time ago, I purchased this Italian camera dated approximately 1947.
It's a F.A.F. Acies from a Pordenone company of which I have found very little information.
It's a 35mm that shoots both in 24x36 and in 18x24 (small and half format)): the format can be selected and changed using a selector located on the base of the camera.
I'd like to know if anyone has any idea of the value of this object, whose rarity I presume is quite high (especially considering that mine should be a prototype).
I leave you the links to the few information I've already found (two sites are in Italian, please use the translator).
I hope someone can help me.
Best regards

Ps: my camera, after a total restoration, is fully functional and with lenses as good as new.

For what it is worth ...
Someone is trying to sell this camera on the Chinese auction site Pecoo for $ 4867.50 https://www.pecoo.com/mallGoodsDetail/5cf49c42b941f510f0cc36af/

I found an entry in the May 12 2012 Westlicht auction (21st Westlicht Auction). The camera was not sold for 500 $ (estimated price range (800-1000 US$) https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/11315475_503-giorgio-moretti-faf-acies-sn-02173-c1947

Re: F.A.F. Acies
Thank you for your time.
I saw those auctions but the great difference between each other leant me to ask here.
And I also absolutely don't understand why the camera, in the second auction, was valued between 800-1000$...
It's really strange that a camera, which was presented in an important occasion in Milan, is basically unknown.
Also on the McKeown's, on which I found everything in the last years, there's no trace about it.

Thanks everyone, I added the manufacturer here https://collectiblend.com/Cameras/FAF/
Still need to wait for the sold values to come up.
