What it is
{"overview":"The Kirn Fingerprint Camera is a specialist British-made instrument designed for capturing fingerprint impressions, used historically in forensic and identification work rather than general photography. On that limited basis, today a clean example sells for roughly that level, though the value of any individual unit is highly condition-sensitive and the market is too sparse to define a reliable range.","buying_guide":"Because this is a specialist instrument, inspect the optical assembly, illumination components and any focusing mechanism for completeness, as replacement parts are not commercially available.
