Hi folks,
I need some help in translation. I have papers for a FED 1b from 1935 but I can't read it because it's cyrillic
Is anybody here who can translate it to me?
Here is a screenshot: http://fotos.cconin.de/temp/feddoc.jpg
Best regards

Hmm.. you need translation of whole camera passport?
Briefly, this paper says that FED with serial #13748 and FED lens 50/3.5 (Tessar type) with serial #14280 are adjusted and checked for 1 m and infinity on the 9th of December (?) or November 1935 and camera was sold and warranted (right above is stamp of photog shop ) on the 8th of April 1936

Thanks, that's the information I wanted to have. So it is a technical passport and everything was ok when it was sold. Btw. it's working very well today, the've made a good job 72 years ago

When dealing with Russian sellers and camera collectors, they all call the inspection slip a "passport".
Is that a literal translation? In English it would usually be called a "quality control certificate", "inspection slip" or something like that.
How do you derive "passport", which I understand to be a travel document?

Well, this exact paper is called `Аттестат` (certificate), later in 50-80s such paper was called `Паспорт` (passport) of lens or camera.
Passport in Russian is:
- identity card.
i.e. we got Citizen`s passport for all-around legal purposes and foreign passport for travels.
- certificate for something: camera, lens, some vehicle

Interesting, so it's basic meaning is an "identity document".
Makes sense.

PS: Where did you learn English. QUAsit?
Your written English is pretty much perfect.

In truth, I wasn`t in army, because of bad eyes, but answer `starting from soviet school 18 years ago and simultaineously practising in software exporting Company today` will be just fine.

His English is excellent (probably better than CA's gov'nor

Pitxu, thank you for endorsing my use of Pig Pidgin Latin and for reminding me of the dangers of homonyms.

So, here is a picture of the camera after I've cleaned it. I can't believe that it's 72 years old
