I know that this is not really very important but it's more curiousity than anything on my part. I have a chrome OM2 with serial number 7495XX that has OM2N on the top plate near the manual/auto selector and only has OM2 on the front of the camera near the rewind switch. All the photo's I've seen of OM2N's have 2N in both places (I have another black one with serial number 7251XX with 2N).

Do I have an OM2 or an OM2N, or have I got some kind of frankencamera? Is this how some of them came out of the factory?

I'd say the tiny "n" next to the rewind switch is either dirty or partially covered by the edge of the switch. Or you have a collectors item ;-) John

Just had another look and there's definitely no little N covered in dirt or hiding under the rewind knob.

Woohoo - looks like I've got a collectors item. Bids in a sealed envelope please gentlemen 😀 😀
