My opinion, it's most likely an alteration... sorry if I was bidding against you ... I'll examine it more closely once I receive it.

I was thinking that this camera made to be relabeled, or it was relabeled at one time, but original label fall off.
Few Zenit E cameras made this way, but Zorki, I believe, first time discovered.
Would be interesting to know more about this camera after you receive it.
And no you was not bidding against me, but I was looking on this camera, and extremely happy that you got it.

This camera should be a TOE import once it is from England. TOE used to ask for some different labesl from original sources. I dont know why.

... and this one turned out to be a fake. Just received it. You can faintly see the Zorki - 4K in English rubbed off, and a one of those rub on stencil alphabets IVK applied on, can easy be scratched off with a nail. Too bad At least has a very nice lens on it and good working condition..

Pity. I recently bought Smena 8M with all black faceplate:

Happens to be fake too, made from "Winner in competition for 1984".

That's too bad as well! Well everything is worked out with that Zorki though, it was in excellent shape with great lens on it, so a friend took it off my hands.
