I have strange example of this camera with Moment-1 shatter and coated lens. Strange, because this cameras was produced with Moment-23 shatter (as I know). Strange, because Moment-1 has not-coated lens (as I know). It installed between lenses so it hard just to change lens, you have to remake whole assembly. Strange, because I did not found any signs of repairs ( or I do not know how to look :). I was using magnifying glass to inspect camera. Serial number is nothing to wright home about, just random digits. Wonder if anybody have any comments or thoughts about this camera?

1952 year? Uncoated? I think that it is impossible....

Well what I found (should look on it first) serial number on the back of the camera is 5706381(1957 year or production) and on the lens I have 5414393(year 1954) Lens is coated, but shatter is Moment 1. So all indication that this camera was rebuilt from many different components of many models. I believe in camera repair shops such cameras called "katleta" – meatloaf
Never the less camera work perfectly despite the ages and as I tell earlier I can not find any flow in quality of assembly.
