DESCRIPTIONS

The camera was tested and fully functioning. Lens is clean from fungus and scratch. As you can see, it comes in red colour as it was redecorated as remembrance of 1917 October Revolution. This charming camera is bundled up with leather case, and shutter release cable. There are signs of wear, but I can assure you the camera is working very well.
