Yes, it is for sale by one of our forum members as well. Nice piece.

Probably the last Fed 2 to have the ancient numbering: the first Fed 3, theorically (I never saw it!) has the serial number 1000001.

Very interesting camera, I have seen it already some time ago.
But the engraving seems a little strange for me, especially the last two zeros. They are out of line.

Yes, Alexander.
And on my two Fed NKVD with consecutive numbers, the numbers "dance" in the same manner:

Probably the engravings were made partly by hand, or with a machine tool not well regulated. Like for the Fed 2...
