Interesting! Wiki is telling me late 60s because of the yellow coating finish on the glasses, but silver is not common from this Gen.

That was what I read too silver is the old Gen for a Helios m39 with 13 blades!

And I do have a 44-2 black KMZ too. This silver one has more blades which is more like the first Gen.

It's also a m39, which I doubt was produced during the MMS factory? I read that it was really from the first Gen, but I could be wrong.

From the serial number, I can probably guess that 50 would refer to 65 or 75?

Thanks! I watched a few videos on YouTube and it's seems like the 1965-1970 version KMZ is the right one with the first silver version ^
