Thanks Aleksandrov,
it's really amazing that so many Fed-1e look so good,
as if they were never used,
as if they were not bought from someone who wants to use it,
as if they were gifts maybe for outstanding military performance.
I put it in the wiki under FED-1e too, to be complete. |

#183321 is listed with 1/1000 too, so this makes sense too. |

I dig out this thread after having tried to read this article:
http://photolubitel.com/index.php?route=module/kbm/article&kbm_article_id=9
Thanks, Luiz, for the link!
It seems, if I understand correctly the first part, that many (all? some?) Fed 1 have an inscription inside, giving the date of manufacture.
I have checked some of my Fed 1, and my last 1e s/n 183231 has 30 VIII engraved inside. So, it should have been made the 30 of august 1941, certainly at Kharkov, like all the other numbered 1e we know.
Amitiés. Jacques. |

To complete this thread, following the article of photolubitel, the internal inscriptions of my Fed 1e:
- 175011: not readable,
- 180971 S: 3 VIII
- 182912: 4 III
- 183231: 30 VIII
Many of my Fed 1 have this inscription made with a needle. The place seems on the shutter box, in the cassette house (under the rewind button). But it should be necessary to dismount partially the camera to see that perfectly.
My 182912 seems out of the lines, with its 4 III...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Hello, thanks to all of you guys for the very interesting posts!
I think that someone expert has to edit the Wiki page, a lot confusing indeed!
I mean this one

Ha, ha!
This part of wikipedia is much better, though not perfect:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FED_%28camera%29
Another Fed 1e, here. The s/n 183613, one of the last ones.
The date inside is 16/X or 16/XI, so after the evacuation. Could it be a "real" Berdsk? It's a pity we don't have the dates of control for the very last 1e-s, up to c. 184000, as it seems.
Of course, there can be other explanations: repair, re-mounting with other parts, etc.
Something else interesting: the lens is a collapsible macro, s/n 2121. But is it the original one? I don't know.
Amitiés. Jacques. |

At first sight, all seems correct for a 1e. Except, of course, the date 16/X. If this camera is completely original, that would mean that some very late 1e were mounted after the evacuation, possibly at Berdsk.
Concerning this s/n 183613, the shutters are original, and I found nothing really strange when taking it to pieces, except that the lensplate is not shimmed, and that it seems not perfectly centered on the body. Perhaps difficult conditions of mounting at Berdsk?
The last 1e known is the s/n 183906, by Alexey Nikitin's site. As far as I know, we don't know the internal inscription of date on the very late 1e.
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Two other Fed 1e here:
- the S # 178311 with the 2/50mm # 32348. Date inside: 8 VII, more or less coherent with the other dates we have,
- the S # 183209, with a macro collapsible Fed lens. In fact, all comes from a Fed-Zorki camera, except the cover! Beautiful leatherette, perfectly working. And no date inside (contrarily to Fed, KMZ did not have that "tradition").

I had forgotten: 31 VIII (1941) is engraved inside on the shutter box. It's the last day found for these cameras, though the last s/n is 183892 in our wiki, 183906 by Alexei Nikitin's site...
Was this camera delayed for some reason, or the mounting at the factory went on later in september?
I own the 183613 with 16 X inside, but I doubt...

Thanks, Ulrich!
I received another 1e S some days ago, in very bad condition, but for nothing (or almost).
In fact, the rewind button was lacking (easy to re-place), but the release button was absent too. So, no connecting rod towards the release spring, no command of the main drum, etc. My first idea was to keep it for parts.
But a 1e S is not such common... Here is the result. The body is still a wreck, but the missing parts are in place. It is always non working:
the curtains must be changed and the mechanism checked. But I had a lot of fun!
