Happy to get a camera from Guido's collection, as a souvenir. He was a lover of fakes, like me...
nice fake FED :-)
I have also received a camera from Guidos collection. It is the Zorki 3 with number 00316. I remember that Guido and me talked about that camera years ago via E-Mail.

With Guido, we had compared my s/n 707 to this s/n 316: no difference...
Happy you got it, Ulrich.
Jacques.
this one is pretty cool fake though, I've never seen embossed emblem like that before.
Serial #47377
Cheers,
Vlad
wow, WOW!
What an amazing find! I am looking for such a 1947 Kiev but I habe never found one for a reasonable price.
If it is possible for you please take off the front mask and check if there is a Contax engraving on the back.

Thank you Ulrich! I am so afraid to do that, I just don't want to ruin this precious and expensive camera 😀. I am very sure it has it on the other side, it's a very early number.
I have too a 1947 Kiev, but much less convincing than yours! (s/n 47168 with "Kiev" in bold characters).
Amitiés. Jacques.
A 1968 Kiev 4a, with the s/n only on the clip.But after the 1947 Kiev, that doesn't look seriious!
Jacques.
The last evolution of the stepped 3a "1 name" just before the "2 names" (still stepped).A thread will come soon!
Amitiés. Jacques.
