I bought this at a local flea market! Came back several times through the day and talked the guy down to what I thought was a reasonable price. Turns out it wasn't just a broken drawstring but a broken mainspring. Maybe the joke was on me. But I got it fixed all the same.

Condition

could still use a bit of cleaning (in the paint and on the carriage rail especially) and some alignment

Notes

model recolored in "early 1949", sn is early 1949 but is 1948 color so must be very early 49
