Hasselblad 500 EL/M SPACE EDITION camera

This special edition Hasselblad came to me in 1989 from a friend and has been kept in my vault ever since. It is in very good condition but does show some signs of wear - minor scratches from normal wear and tear. It has never been dropped or abused and has been kept in a clean temperature and humidity controlled vault. Overall very nice though. This camera was issued by Hasselblad as a commemorative edition in honor of 20 years of the NASA space program. It is sold with the corresponding matching film magazine, Hasselblad pistol grip, charge cord, and lens cap (I will add a photo of the pistol grip and charger when I get back in the studio). This is not sold with a lens. It was purchased by me without the box or papers but is the real deal. Serial number RH 1322098. Magazine serial number is RH 3215127 and has the original dark slide. The commemorative metal tag on the side (as you can see in the detail shot) has the number 0357. This is the issue number out of the 1500 of the cameras that were produced of this model in this series. I believe the batteries are dead and beyond charge but there is NO corrosion inside the battery compartment and all mechanical operation of the camera seems to be in very good working order. I am noting here however that the camera is being sold in as is condition. I am a professional photographer and know these cameras. I have shot on my other Hassey systems for many many years(digital now of course) and they are true work horses. This is a great chance to own a nice piece of history. Good luck and may it find a good home....
