FED 1 Type A (aka Fedka) Soviet camera based on the German-made Leica II.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: FED 1 Type A (aka Fedka), historically the most significant Soviet camera based on the German-made Leica II. Dr William Buckley Peck, a widely known prominent Freeport Illinois (USA) physician and surgeon, purchased this FED 1a camera with a very low early 3 digit serial number of 757 produced April 1934 in the first year of production by the F.E.Dzerzhinsky (FED) Labor Commune in Kharkov Ukraine, while on a trip to Russia in 1934.

The metal finish on this camera is the burnished, a galvanized like, finish used before the hard to come by, and expensive chromium, used later was available.

The body has a smooth black plastic (celluloid) cover instead of the simulated leather vulcanite (a hard, readily cut and polished rubber, obtained by vulcanizing rubber with a large amount of sulfur) cover used later.
