Thanks, Fred!
At first sight, I don't see anything wrong, by what I know. The two speed dial and the two springs seem correct. Perhaps all that is a bit too clean? Anyway, the Fed B is a very rare animal (only 40 samples by what is said), so, difficult to say for sure...
Just a remark: the cover should be engraved with YCCP, not CCCP. With such a serial number (60229), it's a 1c. But we already have a listing of Fed NKVD with odd serial numbers...

Congratulations! Et amitiйs.
Jacques.
PS: beautiful pictures.

I add that the speed box is made of white metal. The transition between brass and iron occurs at s/n c. 11xxxx. That, and other details, lean towards the 1d.
The lens is one of the last we know.

Really, a very lucky find!

Looks very genuine if you compare the most important parts to a Leica IIIa and a Zorki 3.

A very nice find!
