Engraving:
ФЭД НКВД - YССР Харьковский комбинат им. Ф.Э. Дзержинского
(FED NKVD-UkSSR Kharkov Combinat in the name of F.E. Dzerjinsky)
Production: about 40.000 ex. in 1938-39. Serial numbers: c. 54.xxx to c. 95.xxx.
Engravings on camera top are the same as on Fed 1b camera, with "YCCP" (Ukrainian SSR) engraving. Shutter speeds are identical to predecessor's as well. The only visible difference from Fed 1b is changed roundness form of housing. The particular change is due to the mechanism of the new Fed 1B, with a slow speed knob on camera's frontplate.
Several subseries:
-with a dark green vulcanite (up to c. 62.xxx)
-with a 5mm base plate pin, formerly 3mm. From c. 80.xxx.
-3 screws no longer visible under rewind knob (from c. 86.xxx).
-the front center screw under the lens rim is entirely visible (from c. 92.xxx).
The FED1c "S" (with 1/1000 speed and 50mm f/2 lens) show the same subseries.
Nice set on the last picture: a NKVD 1c with matching 6,3/100mm lens and finder.
