Up for bids [or buy-it-now] is a black Zorki 4 with different nameplate engraving than any I've seen. I'm assuming, but don't know, that this was done by someone after-the-fact. Does anyone know?

Here's the listing:

Alain is right. This is a very goofy looking engraving! Definitely a home-made job.
