Interestingly, the previous owner apparently immediately purchased a personalized bottom plate for his Spotmatic F. I've never seen one so well done before (letters impressed in the metal and the impressions are black enamel). The **original, mint** bottom plate was with the kit in the box that the personalized plate came in. So not even any marks on the bottom plate!
