Arrived yesterday Very clean condition, including nice rangefinder contrast and clear viewfinder Slow speeds sticking under 1/8-1/4. Please see the pics
Thanks, Fred! At first sight, I don't see anything wrong, by what I know. The two speed dial and the two springs seem correct. Perhaps all that is a bit too clean? Anyway, the Fed B is a very rare animal (only 40 samples by what is said), so, difficult to say for sure... Just a remark: the cover should be engraved with YCCP, not CCCP. With such a serial number (60229), it's a 1c. But we already have a listing of Fed NKVD with odd serial numbers...
Congratulations! Et amitiés. Jacques. PS: beautiful pictures.
I add that the speed box is made of white metal. The transition between brass and iron occurs at s/n c. 11xxxx. That, and other details, lean towards the 1d. The lens is one of the last we know.
FED B or not Real FED B???
