Early Fed s/n 14xxx

Thought this might be of interest, looks like it has been recovered but it has the 'lavatory bowl' shape of an early Fed and the finer milling on the knobs

However no collimation hole on the back and no 'kick' in the viewfinder window but maybe would have been 'designed out' by now. (These are present on cameras in the 8000 range).

The lens looks newer, the milling is the later coarser type.

Not for me. I've now set myself the rule of nothing over s/n 10,000

Looks pretty interesting. I just shot my first roll through my later 1941 model. It is in very nice condition. The winding was a little stiff, but I tracked that down to the rewind shaft needed a tiny drop of oil. We'll see how the shutter is when I get the roll developed.

I wanted to keep the 1937, 46,xxx serial one, but it needed more work. So I sold it and am keeping this later one...so far.

I guess the picture has changed...
