Friend of mine who is an antique merchant did find a camera what looks made in very low serial (quiet primitive looking )  Camera was brought by a man to Hungary who were on a course at KGB in Moscow in 1952.
I will sell it later , no reason to keep it , I think sound is quiet interesting. I will make some pictures from camera later.

I have the strong feeling I've seen that thing before - and it was not KGB. Maybe some USSR plant built a copy, but it is the spitting image of a pretty common recording camera of British make. I forgot the name, but I will probably stumble over it sooner or later. The lens is British too, so it probably is no clone - if it was put into KGB surplus in 1952, it probably is a relic of the strategic goods the USSR received from the Western allies in WWII.

It would be nice if you can find something about that , quite possible your last sentence is cover full truth.

I don't think so looks very primitive basic camera. Looks not professional built, rather made in small batch in a mechanical factory.
