early Kiev RF was sold on eBay. No serial number?

I took some photos of the disassembled camera. Unfortunately I do not have at the moment a working digital camera so I used my phone.

Here is a front plate. Note the Contax-like rim:

It is badly seen but there is a 'window' engraving. It was engraved before the plating process. Note also the absence of black threads around the rangefinder windows that are common for early Arsenal Kievs.

The shutter is badly seen. There is scratched number "13"


Top view on the rangefinder system. I placed also the piece of Kiev from fifties.




Rangefinder is of Contax type with the additional splitting of the beam-splitter.



Two beauties

In journal Photo Deal IV/2005 Bernd K. Otto in the article "Die Ur-Kiev kam aus Jena" reports on no-number Kiev that has already Contax-Jena features.
