My Zorki 2C has an inscribed/stamped made in USSR ("sdelano v sssr") in Russian on the rear top plate but I cannot find any other 2C`s with the same inscription. I have looked at many others on Ebay and other collector sitesbut have not seen this .
Vlad tells me this is almost certain to be factory and possibly for exported models and recommended me posting this to invite futher comments and discussion.

Wish I knew how to post images here, but here`s the link showing the inscription.

Hello John,
it's quite common to see Zorki-C, Zorki-2C and Zenit-C cameras with such rear engravings. I doubt these engravings indicates to export models while only very few countries are using Cyrillic in their grammar, so not many people to understand what's written ... [:D]
Regards,
Aidas

Aidas you're probably right, it would've been "Made in USSR" if it was an export.. although Soviets were vain enough to make a Russian inscription for export too [:)] heheh... but these are really common inscriptions... I see them all over my cameras.
