Zorki #02917

This Zorki #02917 was sold on ebay 181894120660. How do you think about this?

At first view I thought nice find, (btw mine has number 02913) but the shape of the top on the left side looks different from mine and others (see Wiki). The winding and rewinding knob has coarser milling than mine and the knobs on the exposure counter disk are not high enough.
Seems to be not real to me but one should held in the hands to be sure.

Just the same.
We can add the frame counter which is a Fed's (pin between 0/35 and 15/20 instead of 25/30 and 5/10).

I know you have the #02913 Ulrich. I forgot where I saw it, here or on your website. That's very easy to compare then. Indeed, the top-plate, wind knob and frame counter don't match. How about the vulcanite?

Lenny, hard to say something about the vulcanite. It looks as it is a body shell of FED 1 around serial number 300000. But the pictures are not big enough to say more.
