Revue 4 Olympic (FED 4b)

Second version of Revue 4 which was made from the FED 4b for Foto-Quelle, West-Germany. On this version "Revue 4" is serigraphied in white (engraved on the first version). Same other characteristics as the FED 4L in the Wiki.
It was equipped with Fed/Industar-61.
It's not a common camera.

The pictured camera has the logo of the Moscow Olympic games 1980.
Serial number of the pictured camera: 007141 on the baseplate (Jacques collection).

Serial #007141 should be from the years 1979/80.
Foto-Quelle stopped selling Revue-3 and Revue-4 few years ago in 1976.

It's sad that FED decided to stamp 6-digit serials on the bottom plate of the back door, because those doors can be accidently changed easily.
FED-3, Fed-4 and Fed-5 doors are the same, stamping the serial on the door might have simplified production.
There are big stamped serials (around 21mm long for 6 digits)
and small serials (around 13mm long for 6 digits).
