This receipt from 1955 belongs to a Zorki-1 #621978 which should be made end of 1954 and could be sold beginning of 1955. But I don't think this Zorki was sold for 15 Rubel. It must be something else for 15 Rubel.
What was it?
Which month in 1955 was it sold?
Is the city where it was sold mentioned?

Thanks Lenny

Hi Lenny, it's not a sales receipt, it's a bank deposit/withdrawal receipt.

Cheers,
Vlad

Thank you very much Vlad and Moxies. Written words by hand are difficult to read.
This receipt must not be connected to the camera.

Thanks Zoom,
Irkutsk, interesting. Then it came back to the motherland and Hamburg and who knows where the postman will take it now, it was sold on ebay 371308589818.

It was interesting to me because these kind of passports are always great to know and I have a Zorki not so far away from #621978.

This is a Zorki-C from 1957 and was sold in 1962 more than 5 years later with a special engraving on the base plate. What does it mean?

Thanks Lenny

Hi, it translates to "The good memory from the collective T. Ivanyuta TSSKA"
TSSKA is a sports assocation from what I can see on the www.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Lenny,
the translation is: "On a good memory to comrade Ivanjute from the collective of &#1062;&#1057;&#1061;&#1040;."
Ivanjute is a typical surname from Lithuania.
Steve, &#1062;&#1057;&#1061;&#1040; is not a sport club! Don't confuse it with &#1062;&#1057;&#1050;&#1040; (CSKA) [:)]. It is simply the name of any organization.

Regards, Alexander
