Hello to all,

On the bottom plate there is an engraving which I can not read, but I think it is a name? Can somebody translate it to me?

Thanks
Ulrich

By the way, when it arrives here it was really unusable. There was a heavy amount of hard grease on all gears and inside the camera. Also on the lens, it could only be turned by using force.
So I disassembled it to clean it and found out that it is a FED S inside. The speed disk under the top cover has a hole vor 1/1000 of a second and this speed could be set and works fine after cleaning and relubing it. But the speed dial on the top is missing the 1/1000. I think that it sits the whole time on a shelf and was only used once or twice. Even the original shutter curtains are soft and look like new.

Hey uwittehh! Engraving should say something like: M.V. Bogdanovich, a memory frow Moscow 28.7.1946.

Most likely Mr Bogdanov was not into photography, so the expensive gift was left unused.

Filip, thanks. So nothing special, no person of interest, just somebody :-)

Juhani, at least one roll of film was inside the camera. I have found 3 big parts of film inside of it. Maybe the camera does not work anymore with these stuck parts, so it was put on the shelf.

Best regards
Ulrich
