The Reflex Mirror.

To prevent double or ghost images on the ground glass of the Reflex Camera, the mirror is made with the silvered coating on top of the glass.
Pete Ganzel can make every size mirror for your classic Reflex Camera.
He needs three dimensions Width top and bottom and the length down the centre. As you probably know the reflection or silvered coating of  an optical mirror lays on the surface of the glass, rather than all the other mirrors in your  house, which have the reflection coating on the back of the glass. Please email Mr. Pete Ganzel for more info.
