I have found this week a very interesting Zenit-3m camera with "golden" inscription in Russian "Зенит-3" and some "golden" control elements on the top plate. I have not seen such a camera before and did not find any info neither in Princelle nor in SSK book. Any ideas?

I can put some pictures of this camera in the catalog.

Maybe it could be some gold color plated parts.
They probably have been added or changed on a normal camera.
I have 2 cameras with such parts. One Zenit E and one EM full gold.
I will put some pictures soon.....

Very cool camera, but I'm afraid that this is aftermarket modifications.
