Please, add serial numbers to Wiki so that we can someday figure out how big numbers may have been produced...

Hi Juani,
they came from Zi Zhiang (is it our dealer ? i do not remember , sorry)
So....
huashan at the left side is :60023039 numbered only on front lense
chang jiang just at right is not numbered (we can read only "N°" on lense but whithout serial number after.

the third one is different name but i cannot read chineses characters
N°58005421

and the last one at right side is "huashan" too but slightly different characters on front . N° 60021816

Hi,Alain

The third one looks like a block logo Changjiang, an earlier version made in 1958 by a music instrument factory.

Cheers,

Zhang

dear friend Zhang...thanks a lot for translation.

ps : all these cameras came very very dirty but you know , it is a pleasure for collectors to clean every item

So adding mine:
Changjiang Serials 59000088 and 58005421 = very small numbers in 58/59
HuaShan Serials 60022426 & 60023039 & 60021816 = all 6002xxxx
