Hi,

While working on a 1964 Kiev 4A I found that marking. Maybe something related to the rangefinder adjustment ? I will appreciate a translation ;)

Hi Jed.

I believe it says July 22 - Glazunov (last name)

Cheers,
Vlad.

Hi Vlad !

Thanks lots. The camera was never opened before so it was made in the factory. Probably he could have been punished for doing that... But I like that marking !

What year is the camera? We should find that guy who worked on Arsenal [:)]

S/N is 6411652
I like the idea of the month of July 64 as time of production of the camera but I may be wrong.

I tried searching, couldn't find any records of that person at Arasenal on the internet, Arsenal's HR archives are probably the only place that would have it. But it would be very cool if we would've found it! [:)]

Cheers,
