Early Fed 1D NKVD Combinat 1939-1941 Leica-Copy Camera w/ Fed 3.5 f=50mm Lens Parts/Repair Make Fed Model 1D NKVD CCCP Combinat Film Size 35mm standard Serial Number #143005 Lens Info Early Pre-War Elmar-Copy uncoated Fed 1:3,5 F=50mm. Has old aperture numbers 3.5, 4.5, 6.3, 9, 12.5, & 18. Serial number #142638, with a second stamped number #94. Other Items Included (if) Leather FED case. Has been restitched on the leather snap tongue, as well as on the strap to the case. Remainder of strap is brittle. Comes with take-up spool (push-on) type. No other items are included with this auction. Condition Condition Body Signs of wear consistent. Chipping to the vulcanite-type covering noted at the bottom edge of both sides of the baseplate. Baseplate locks well. Film counter is working but is stiff from old lubricants. Rangefinder is clear and contrasy. Finish seems thin on top of the rangefinder housing, as well on the baseplate. Small spot of discoloration next to the film rewind knob. Condition Lens Cleaning scratches noted on the outer element. Moisture is in the inner elements of this lens, mixing with the oil causing hazy conditions inside. Not able to see fungus through all of the moisture, droplets, and haze. Focus is stiff from old lubricants. Aperture blades control is stiff from gunk. Aperture blades from the front of the lens appear to be free of oil and damage. From the mount side, I'm not so sure with all of the junk occluding the view. Consider the blades rumpled (damaged). They appear to have some maladjustment to their normal iris effect. I am unable to accurately photograph this displacement as well as I would like. There are 2 pictures detailing what I am seeing. Camera Function Shutter is bogged down with old grubby lubricants that need to get cleaned out of everywhere for this camera to be functional. The speed dial is being held up by grubby lubricant, so I only tested the shutter at 1/500 th only. I did not want to cause damage, so I did not test past that. This camera & lens is being offered AS-IS Parts/Repair only. General AS-IS Parts/Repair Only Auction Information Auction Condition Grading I do not grade the items that are offered online. If you have questions about the listing, please contact me about the description of this item. General Camera Information All will have signs of use and wear. Functions will be tested, commented on in auction, but I do not have the ability to test for accuracy. Please keep in mind that all of the cameras offered are at least 35 years old, and will need to go in for a minimum CLA (clean, lube, adjust) in order to perform up to specification. Just like an oil change for a car, your camera need regular servicing as well. Parts/Repair cameras are just that. They have condition problems that warrant this rating. They can either be stripped to fix other cameras, or they can be fixed by professionals that have the ability to find and/or create parts that are broken and/or missing. The cameras offered for Parts/Repair have not been film tested. This camera is considered AS-IS due to the above problems. Payment Policy Paypal only. Payment within 5 days of close of auction.
