Hello,
I would like to post the pictures of two of my Contaxes, both of the "K" batch (dating from 1939) and both found in my region (Trentino): one more or less 8 years ago; the second, ca. 2 years ago.
They are resp. nr. K.56041 and K.60563 .
Of the first, I surely know that it was taken from a German soldier in 1945 and remained in the same family, until coming in my hands, the second was in a private property, no info on where it came from.
As clearly visible in the attached pictures, both have the same sinchro contact.
Even in Kuc's 1st volume of "Auf den Spuren der Contax", there are few details about this variation.
Besides the signs of wear, both are still perfectly working...
I hope that this little info could be of some interest.
Best wishes,
E.L.
