What you have was probably a either a Grey market import or an
overseas purchase. It isn't unheard of to find cameras of that era
that were bought into the US by returning servicemen after being
bought in the far east or Germany. I have in fact a Kodak Retina
which was meant to be sold in Germany those destined for the US
market had distance scales marked in feet, this one is marked in
meters. (Besides that I know the cameras history, it was given to me
by the person who brought it into the US).
