Extremely rare camera, on the rear engraved "SAMPLE". It is the 33th S2 camera produced and one of the most earliest known to exist. Rotoloni shows in 'The Complete Nikon Rangefinder System' page 107 camera no.6135019 with the same 'SAMPLE' engraving and believes it is one of the 10 cameras shown at the introduction of the new S2 in New York on December 10th 1954. The camera is different to the production models: the rangefinder view shows four cross markings within the bright-line, the pressure plate is much shorter and the back cover looks uncommon inside. The camera is in fully working and excellent condition, with Nikkor-H.C 2/5cm no. 721258, with clear and clean glass.
