Serial number and year help 👍

Good morning folks. I've just joined and need some assistance. I have a Russian camera that I believe is a FED 4. Firstly, I apologise for my lack of knowledge. I'm trying to find out how old the camera is. I've seen pictures of the FED 4 online, but this looks slightly different. I've attached a couple of pictures in the hope that someone can help me out.

This is the second version of the FED 4, produced between 1969 and 1980 according to SovietCams:

Soviet and Russian Cameras - Fed-4

I think it will be difficult to find an exact year of production. If the lens was originally delivered with this camera, this page on SovietCams might get you a bit closer:

Soviet and Russian Cameras - Industar-61
