Has a similar body inspired on the Drug camera from KMZ . The project was  perfected and ended on the FED 4K which became itself the commercial FED 5S (with luminous frames).

FED Arsenal

Rare type produced in 1946/47 by Arsenal Zavod (known from Kiev cameras).
Due the high demand of FED cameras after the war, Arsenal also assembled FED cameras just in time of the begining of the production in Krasnogorsk.
They stopped FED production in order to continue full implant construction of Kiev cameras  (Contax clones) These extreme rare Arsenal models are only recognized through the binocular prism emblem engraved  in the top of the camera

 

Fed "120"
FED (Felix Edmundovitch Djerzinski's)
(1940 c.a.)
 

This is a medium format camera probably the smallest ever built. Joints the dimensions of Leica screw with the advantages of the  4 X 5,6 cm  negative,  using the same Industar 10 (FED) lens. It has the best ratio between body size and negative format. The collapsiple objective reduces its overall size for carrying purposes. Has focal plane shutter B, 1/20 to 1/500, and takes 16 pictures.  Uses 120 type film.

Its production planned for 1939/1941 was suspended during war time, due factory evacuation from Kharkov to Bredsk, in Siberia.
