I've sold several of these great cameras in the past 20 years, but this is cosmetically the cleanest one ever.
Everything is clean and working. It is ready to load film and start shooting. A shot from a test roll I put through it is included above.
The lens is clear, with no fungus, dust, scratches or wipe marks. All lenses this age will have some degree of haze in them unless they have been cleaned. I think this one is remarkably clean, but if you shine a... bright flashlight into it at an angle you might see some faint haze.
I bought the camera with the UV filter on it, so I suspect that the lens was always protected.
Focus and film advance are smooth. Aperture blades are clean. The shutter works at all speeds and sounds accurate. Film counter works and locks at 1 as designed.
Some bits of black paint missing from the eyepiece and the lower back corner.
No other cosmetic defects of note. No ID marks.
