Up for a quick 3 day auction is for an interesting Soviet Russian FED camera which was their version of the Leica. The top is engraved in Cyrillic (Russian) - see 2nd picture below. The body serial number on top reads N o101449. (1930s - 1940s) I was surprised to see that the lens does not have a name. It looks like a Letiz Hektor but again, I see no markings at all of any name, it only reads 1:2 F = 50 N o 173796. The cosmetic condition is good for its age. The black covering is intact. I am not familiar with the working of this camera. The lens may need cleaning. The shutter does work after I wind the film advance dial and press the shutter release button, not sure if film is in there or not but I took two pictures while testing. Selling as is, as a collectible, or for display. Please email me any questions you might have. The lens itself extends approximately 2cm and total extended length of the lens from the body to furthest is about 5cm. Will ship with expedited professional care.Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Thank You Photo Gallery -
