Start 5800024

Hi,

Long time no see you![:)]

A Chinese collector found some rare cameras recently in Russia. Here is a very early Start, a 5800024 one! I hope I could often travel to Russia to hunt these rare pieces.[;)]

Cheers,

Zhang

Hi Zhang! That's it!!?? Just one tease image from the back? [:D][:D][:D][:D] Come on! Do you have a front picture? I want to see if it matches that Bunimov's book that has a different front on an early Start illustration!

Thanks for posting this!
Vlad.

Aha! Thank you very much Zhang! The picture in Bunimovich's book must be either a prototype or a design drawing! This is great information!

The picture I'm talking about is this one:
