Hello,
PYC, a French collector, mailed me the passports of two Fed Zorki:
- S/n 01356, 1948 engraving, passport signed the 22 XI 1948,
- S/n 04822, 1949 engraving,^passport signed the 21 II 1949.
So, we can think that the Fed-Zorkis were made very rapidly by KMZ, probably in less than 6 months. And perhaps even the remaining 3400 1948 ones (between s/n 01356 and 04797, the last 1948 one by the wiki) were made in december only...
Arithmetic is certainly too strict, but it is astonishing...
Jacques.
