Hi all,

my colleague has come across a nitrate film from the mid 1920s which is possibly Swiss, British or Canadian. The edge marking on the film is 'C.I.F.' which is written in the perf area with gaps(C then perf, . then perf, I then perf, . then perf, F then perf, . the perf). Does anyone know who the manufacturer might be?

thanks very much.

UPDATE: We have discovered it is a British Pathe film from 1925. Still no clue what C.I.F. stands for.
