Hi Jed!
"To the soldier of Red Army F.I.Sukhov from L.P.Beria NKVD 1937". As you probably know Beria was a boss of soviet NKVD untill 1953.
No more comments, ok? [:D][:D][:D]
Best Regards,
Aidas

Hello Aidas !
Thank you very much !
I only paid 30€ for the camera and the seller didn't mention the engraving. Nethertheless, I doubt it is genuine. The seller was located in Russia and it doesn't sound possible to me to sell such camera at that price.
All the best,
Jean

Hi Jed!
What is the serial number of your camera?
With such a date, it should be a Fed 1b (or perhaps an early 1c)to be genuine...
Amitiés. Jacques.

Hello Jacques, Camera is Zorki 1 (!). No doubt the engraving is not from 1937. If genuine, I may assume it's from the 50's and it's about something special done in 1937 ? Anyway I bought the camera for another reason : today I took pictures with it. Best, Jean

With such a date, of course it cannot be a Zorki...
Does it work well? [:)]
Amitiés. Jacques.

Hello all,
Sorry for such late response ;)
Thanks lots Zoom ! I must see that movie !!
Jacques, the camera works fine. The lens is an Industar 50. I'm impressed by its sharpness. Fits also my Canon 7 ;)
Best,
Jean
