Doryu 1 Prototype Flashcamera
The only known example of the Doryu 1 pistol camera (known as well as Doryu 1-9.5), completed at prototype-level by the Doryu Company in 1952, interesting is that the camera itself bears markings identifying it as 'Doryu 3'. Because of durability problems of the Bakelite body and small availability of the 9,5mm film in Japan, the camera never went in production and was replaced in the same year (1952) for the Doryu 2-16. The camera is in very good, original condition, with working shutter, removable magazine, Doryu 3 3,3/23mm lens with hood, original leather case
