Braun Super 11 On its way to me. An unusual model without the Paxette name and engraved 'Super 11' on the rear.

An NKVD model? That was the agency that preceded the KGB. Interesting.

KGB were external espionage and counter-espionage. The FED factory was founded by the NKVD to supply the cameras the needed, and to rehabilitate delinquents with a trade they could use later on.

The factory used youngsters for making the cameras, they also made copies of Black & Decker electric drills. I have the 2 FEDs it seems that the NKVD model is the better made. I handles and feels very much like a Leica, something later models didn't do.
