I'm trying to collect serial number information on Royal Cameras to get a sense of their production volume in the four or five years they were around. As well as selling cameras itself, Royal had a broad distribution network. The cameras that I'm collating serial number information on include the Royal 35M and 35P, Ogikon 35E, Mansfield Skylark E and V (but not the Yamato Palmat-clone Skylark), Wirgin 19E, Hiyoca and Torca.
If you have one or more of these and if you would, please respond with make and model number, the first four digits of serial numbers of both body and lens, and whether the lens was a f1.9 or f2.8. Would greatly appreciate it, Thanks!

Okay Jason, here you go: Royal 35-M; body: 53166; lens: 51714. It's a 2.8 .
It still works well, as does the lightmeter after some silverglueing. Cheers, Jan
