It arrived today, and it is NOT a 130A as I and the seller thought, there is an L in the end [?]
Also it is 1973 and not 1974 as the 130A so far have been [:0]
Best regards,

Hi Juhani,
It's amazing discovery!!![:0][:0][:0]. My best congratulations! It seems you've got a prototype of 130A camera indeed. It's very interesting to mention, that "Made in USSR" engravings on the frontplate were firstly used on early Sokol-2 cameras, i.e in 1977-1979, while your sample is from early 1973 ... Would be very happy to get a quality picture for my website, ok?
Best Regards,
Aidas

Naturally you will get them, as well as the Global. First we will continue our vacation here in Finland though!
Best regards,
Juhani

Congratulations Juhani!!! This is quite an amazing and interesting piece! It's amazing that you've found a super-rare version of a very rare camera, hold on to it, it's probably worth A LOT of money if it is in fact a prototype as Aidas says [:D].
