Bit of a youngster compared to most of your lovely examples.

Had to go searching back to 2012 on another forum for this (partial) picture of my Hasselblad 500C. How time flies.
Paperwork shows it was sold in December 1968 in the week before Christmas here in Australia (can't quite remember if it was in Adelaide or Melbourne). I bought it from Austria.
The fact that it was originally sold here, and in 1968 (my birth year) and around the time of Apollo 8 was enough to make me happy.
I also liked the way there was a coded "magic word" to help date these.

I did hope to maybe get some photographs taken with it but time and life got in the way.
Hopefully one day.
Perhaps a better short term goal would be to get some display cases like your excellent set ups
