This is the first type and first version of the Fed 3a.

Three external details differenciate it from the 3a Type 2:
- a rim round the finder,
- the speeds are engraved on the dial,
- a cornered moulding (see photos).

Transitional versions based on these details exist between the "pure" type 1 and the type 2. This camera was delivered with the Fed Industar 26m F410 lens.

The black of the pictured camera is not original, of course. Serial number of this camera: 1004693.
Lowest known number: 1000775.
