schyter	Posted - Jul 06 2020 : 03:30:10 AM Hi guys... Ask >> what do the four digits of the serial number identify after the year of production (two digit)? If 11,000 cameras (Princelle) were produced in 1951 and if 4 digits of the serial indicate the pieces made that year, how did they write 10,875 (example) using only 4 digits? Many thanks.

Hi Jacques, the source is http://www.sovietcams.com/index.php?1686816760 quote > "Appr. 10.000 Kiev II cameras were released in 1950. Appr. 11.000 Kiev II cameras were released in 1951." This I think is a fairly correct figure if you consider that the Kiev II were 100,000 ... about. If you do not consider the years 1947 and 1948 wherea few hundred cameras were produced, the serial production years were nine (1949/1957)for a production average of about 11,000 pieces. But what surprises me is that I never have saw a Kiev (II) with seven serial numbers (2 year + 5) Thanks a lot. Luigi -------------------------- Only dead fish follow the stream ...
