A very early Fed

Hi,

Yes, I looked several times and drooled but then came up with a likely price and thoughts about problems with a complete overhaul etc, etc.

I wonder who bought it?

It would be interesting to know. These 'galvanised' Feds are interesting and there are a lot of variations in detail in the first few thousand to keep one busy. There was one a couple of years back which went for a huge amount and didn't seem original.

Way rarer than the equivalent Leicas and with a completely different story behind them. Nowadays my oldest Fed is in the 8000 range. A very nicely made camera indeed.

Everything seems to get a bit coarser somewhere around 250000 with the introduction of the big shutter release with cup...or am I being picky?
