russian camera

An early Russian made Antique Camera. It has very nice finish and workmanship. More typical of the 1880s-1890s German cameras.

 

This camera was purchased in Russia, it is stamped in russian ;

B.A. PENCb (which I was told translates it someones name)

NHXEHEPb (which I was told translates to "Engineer")

HEBCKIN 86 (which I was told translates to city 1886 or a street address)
