My friend, the collector of cameras from Astrakhan, Ilnur Aubikerov , gained an unusual camera. The logo on the meter box of the camera "baffled"."VTSVS"(брябя) What is the model of the Soviet photographic equipment?

Hi, this is TSVVS in Cyrillic, Topographicheskaya Sluzhba Voenno-Vozdushnyh Sil or Topographical Service of Military-Air Forces. Please see http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/TSVVS.
Its hard to say whether it is genuine or whether someone has just engraved to logo onto the meter cover of a Kiev IIIa.

Cheers,

Steve

Vladimir,
it seems to be an aftermarket engraving. I have seen this camera on Ebay.
So far as I know there were no Kiev-cameras with such engraving.

Regards, Alexander

Again and again: this logo just read clockwise -- VTS VS -- Voenno-Topographicheskaya Sluzhba Vooruzhyonnykh Sil (Military Topographic Service of the Armed Forces).
