I have a good listing about Fed-Zorki and Zorki 1a (but I am not alone, eh, Alexey!). It seems that speed dials and button release were mixed up to s/n 9000-10000.

So, a great box with mixed parts, probably...Smile

Amitiés. Jacques.

Friends!
In a particular case, Zorki #07026 is not authentic. In Russia, such options are called "Cutlet".
But the top cover in any case is original and that's why we will be happy because it has a twin.

Ha, ha!
When I saw your post, Alexey, I rushed to my board, but the Fed 1a s/n 4642 is always here!Big smile
We already discussed about this camera here.

For me, it's a mix Fed/Leica, with a Leica shutter box. All that was re-chromed together: the chrome is homogeneous and finer than on the other <s>pre production </s> prewar cameras. As for the lens, a mix again with the body of an Elmar and the optics from a Fed (position of the diaphragm). Really, much work: the owner was attached to this camera.

Amitiés. Jacques.
