Hi Darrski,

Yer pre-1970 - N° 01xxx (13 blades), shows that. Doubt if ye can narrow that without provenance. Mine's is N° 00xxx, ah have proof of purchase (with camera) to 1961. Yer definitely not 1950s, more likely mid-60s. Look at 2nd. post (page1) KMZ (1c).

Cool

Based on a couple of Helios 44s that I have been able to match with a date, I would say 1962 or 1963.

Here's the data I have:
0071xxx documented to Dec 1961
0113xxx on Zenit 3M 62005xxx, so early 1962?
0309xxx on Zenit 3M 65060xxx, so mid 1965?
