Hi Jed!
"To the soldier of Red Army F.I.Sukhov from L.P.Beria NKVD 1937". As you probably know Beria was a boss of soviet NKVD untill 1953.
No more comments, ok? 
Best Regards,
Aidas |

Hello Aidas !
Thank you very much !
I only paid 30€ for the camera and the seller didn't mention the engraving. Nethertheless, I doubt it is genuine. The seller was located in Russia and it doesn't sound possible to me to sell such camera at that price.
All the best,
Jean |

Hi Jed!
What is the serial number of your camera?
With such a date, it should be a Fed 1b (or perhaps an early 1c)to be genuine...
Amitiés. Jacques.

| Hello Jacques, Camera is Zorki 1 (!). No doubt the engraving is not from 1937. If genuine, I may assume it's from the 50's and it's about something special done in 1937 ? Anyway I bought the camera for another reason : today I took pictures with it. Best, Jean |

Of course, this is a joke (mockery).
Sukhov Fyodor Ivanovich (Ñóõîâ Ô¸äîð Èâàíîâè÷) is the hero of famous Soviet film "The White Sun of the Desert" (Áåëîå ñîëíöå ïóñòûíè), see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Sun_of_the_Desert

With such a date, of course it cannot be a Zorki...
Does it work well? 
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Hello all,
Sorry for such late response ;)
Thanks lots Zoom ! I must see that movie !!
Jacques, the camera works fine. The lens is an Industar 50. I'm impressed by its sharpness. Fits also my Canon 7 ;)
Best,
Jean |
