Thanks Mark, with your example I now have 43 documented. Lens serials range from RA003 to RM3443 and body serials range from 001018 to 004563. The body and lens serials do not seem to correlate in any particular order. I have not seen any examples with a later date code on the lens than RM (1953).
This trend would seem to imply two things:
1. The cameras, or at least the lenses, were all constructed from late 1952-1953 with examples being sold or assembled until 1956 when they are removed from Kodak catalogs.
2. Based on current serial number data, I would estimate that approximately 3,500 were produced in total. Continued expansion of the documented examples could change this, but i doubt if more than 5,000 were produced.
