For sure this makes it a rarity....but, ALL nikon S's have serial number on the back, IF this one doesn't,then I call it a geniune rarity, not made so by a replacement part. Kiu |

255,000 yen for an S with no serial number on the body and 5cm f2 622518 or 622516 (hard to read).
I sent a question to the seller asking if there was a serial number on the inside of the back, but didn't get a response. 301,000 yen for M/S body serial number M6093259 with "BUNKER" engraved in capital letters above the serial number and 5cm f1.4 lens serial number 5005... |

But it sure looks like those early cameras do well on YJ... over 300,000 yen for a Nikon M synch in half way descent condition? Didn't even have the earlier knobs, look at the knobs on this one: 
May be I should have sent you that box of MIOJ stuff!! Kiu
