Not factory issue. Highly modified, also spelled hack job.

And if you want to ask about the camera, show the camera body, not the lens.

The shutter speed plate is marked Folmer and Schwing Division, Eastman Kodak. That would make it 1926 or earlier, as 1926 was the year that Kodak was ordered to divest itself of Folmer and Schwing, and any later date would have read Folmer Graflex. I think what you have is a "top handle" Speed Graphic body which has been extensively modified to take the lens.
