Moscow Deer engraving on Zorki 1 Case

I recently got at 1955 Zorki 1 (e) with case in a superb condition for 100 nis. ($28) after lowering the price from 300nis ($85) at an antique market.

Inside the leather case there is a Deer engraving\stamped logo with Moscow and a few other words spelled in Cyrillic.

Has anyone encountered the same logo? Is it commemorative or has to do
with a soviet post?

Thank You.

Hi Tom,

I think that this engraving stamped on your leather case could mention the maker of the case ?

Michel.

It is written Moskovskii Koj Zavod or, Moscow leather factory The factory responsible for all soviet cameras cases. The deer is its symbol

Luiz,

The "deer" cases are indeed common, but this was not the only factory.
I think there were many of them. Some cameras of the same period could have cases from different factories, especially in the 70's and 80's. A better was usually made for export, and a crappy one - for domestic use.

The Moskovskii Koj Zvod made the best export cases including Lada case further used in Quartz 5
