What Ball Head Do I have?
Bought a large ball head at an auction the other day and am not sure
what I have. It weighs, with plate, about 2.2 pounds and the base is 3" in diameter. See "http://members.cox.net/jchapman11/BALL%20HEAD.jpg" On the base the id 2C035 is etched. Says Made in USA and in small letter P.E. Forster. On the ball release handle there is a tiny script that says Kirr, or Kikk, or Kirk, or even Kikr. I thought it might be an early Kirk, but the script is barely legible and the last two letters look identical. Second question is whether the plate is of Arca Swiss design (I have never seen one up close before). You assistance is appreciated. |

Looks like an A-S plate to me. The head looks similar to some of the Foba's except for the "made in USA". On the ball release handle there is a tiny script that says Kirr, or Kikk, or Kirk, or even Kikr. Probably "Kirk", but maybe just a replacement handle, which I think they sell? You might email Kirk and ask if you don't get a definitive answer from the NG's. Bill |
