Hi, I've just aquired a ZI Kolibri with a Tessar 5cm f3.5 lens Ser No S46649. My query is that it has a Balda Compur Rapid shutter with a top SS of 1/500. I've searched and can't find any info on a Zeiss Ikon Kolibri with this shutter fitted. I would like to know if it came from the factory with it or it was fitted later. Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks like the shutter has been replaced.

Hi Rob, I'm sure you're right. I've since found out that Zeiss Ikon had a 17% stake in a company called F Deckel who made the Compur shutters for various camera manufactorers. Thanks for your reply.
