Magical part spotted

[wbulte]

I recently had my hands on one of these magical parts that make the classic Hasselblad system so much fun.

It is made of soft, pliable plastic. About the size of a 10 Eurocent coin, or a US nickel.

I know what it is, do you?

With thanks to Paul for dragging it over.

Is this a cap for a peephole magazine to be used for 220 rollfilm ? ? ?
I have never seen that piece before .
Or is this a 220 cent piece of the HASSELBLAD currency

Hello Jürgen,

Your first idea is absolutely right.
This little cap was used to block light coming through the peephole of a "12" magazine.
The procedure to load the film is an adventure on its own.
After 12 exposures simply reset the counter and you are ready for exposures 13 till 24.

Bullseye! Free pancakes for the lucky winner!
