Zorki 3C serial numbers

My collection grows too fast Today a Zorki 3C with a very low serial number arrives here. The number is 5502826. According to Aidas site it is a PM1410, the first production model after the pre-series.
Aidas camera is about 3000 numbers later. Are there earlier numbers or later than Aidas known?

Hello Ulrich

I have Zorki-3C s/n 5505945, lens Jupiter-8 s/n 5549000. Camera identical to s/n 5505913 on SovietCams site (type PM1410) - Aidas website is superb and it is my 'Bible' of Russian cameras since I don't have Princelle (postage from US to Spain is far too high for me). Zorki-3 is my favourite Russian RF camera after pre-war Fed-1.

Hello Chris

The book of Princelle was made in France and you may order it there (Le Reve Edition, Chantal Muller, 35 rue du marais de Chвtillon, F-45390 Ondreville sur Essonne, France) or at the german online photo book shop Lindemanns (http://www.lindemanns.de). Direct link:
