Sure it's not just a bad picture? Just kidding. Murff, do you own this machine? What SN is it?

yes, I bought the Curta on a private deal... the person was not a collector.
The serial number 520669 seems not to fit very well - (e.g. short metal crank).
On the base plate it's also "MIL" engraved?

Inside, the serial number plate was missing.

So it would be very interesting to know the whole story!

So, a black Curta II to which a grey body shell has been retrofitted?
