Moscow Deer engraving on Zorki 1 Case

7 posts in this thread
I recently got at 1955 Zorki 1 (e) with case in a superb condition for 100 nis. ($28) after lowering the price from 300nis ($85) at an antique market.

Inside the leather case there is a Deer engraving\stamped logo with Moscow and a few other words spelled in Cyrillic.

Has anyone encountered the same logo? Is it commemorative or has to do
with a soviet post?

Thank You.
Hi Tom,

I think that this engraving stamped on your leather case could mention the maker of the case ?

Michel.

It is written Moskovskii Koj Zavod or, Moscow leather factory The factory responsible for all soviet cameras cases. The deer is its symbol

yes sure but... I found this logo in a Komsomoletz "luxury" (!!!) brown simili leather case....was it the same atelier ?




Luiz,

The "deer" cases are indeed common, but this was not the only factory.
I think there were many of them. Some cameras of the same period could have cases from different factories, especially in the 70's and 80's. A better was usually made for export, and a crappy one - for domestic use.
