Default Age of Kodak model B

Hi all

I have just bought a 10x8 Kodak model B which seems to have a serial number of 895 embossed into the wood below the ground glass
the name plate on the front says made in England by Kodak London WC2

Apparently the camera belonged to Donald Webb who apart from being a theater/glamour photographer also served as a gunner on the Dambusters raids

dose anybody have an Idea of the age ?

thanks

robin

Steven Tribe and I have posted some details on the LFPF website, nothing definite except between the end of WWI and 1934. The WC2 postal area was only created in 1917.
