Inside a 1949 Kiev II camera

Hi,
Just got a 1949 Kiev II. Too bad a ribbon broke after 2 exposures... Here's some pictures I took of the inside while replacing the ribbon. I know some of you are highly interested ;)
Shutter number is 4024.
Best,
Jean

A lot of Dresden parts, as it seems: finder, speed mechanism...
And a number on the shutter box not far from the serial number.
What do these LG letters on the reverse of the upper plate mean ?

Thanks for these photos, Jed.

Amitiйs. Jacques.

Hi Jacques !

Another picture - see the piece of leather, not a Zeiss one :

The one on my 1947 Kiev.
The ribbons were changed.

I also have a 1951 Kiev II top plate apart - the letter "S" is engraved instead.

Jed,

really nice find :-) Have you removed the film pressure plate to see if there is something written under on the back?
