Michael A. Marcus Posted August 18, 2022 Share #1 Â Posted August 18, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) There's a roll of film in it still frames unexposed so I don't want to open it --- Why does my 0.72 M7 not have a serial number on the bottom plate? Or anywhere else that's visible on the exterior. Â Dumb question probably has an easy answer! Â Never noticed before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Hi Michael A. Marcus, Take a look here M7 No Serial # (???!!!). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
250swb Posted August 18, 2022 Share #2 Â Posted August 18, 2022 It's either because it's a fake M7, or alternatively, and this in a long shot, it's because the serial number is engraved on the hot shoe. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael A. Marcus Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share #3 Â Posted August 18, 2022 Thank you! Â Ah yes, of course, ye olde hot shoe! Â How could I have forgotten. Â Didn't think Tamarkin then in NYC would sell me a fake, whenever that was! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted August 18, 2022 Share #4 Â Posted August 18, 2022 If the number is on the hotshoe it's definitely a Russian zorki fake 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen so many cameras with social sec #s, or driver's license #s scratched on them. That was from the day when: 1/ Identity theft was unknown b/ Cameras were seen as keeping them forever items.
