One way to tell a 1 from a 1N with only a front view available, is the shape
of the rewind release knob on the front of the camera. The 1 has sharp
corners, the 1N is contoured, so much that it is more dificult to grasp
than a 1. If this is a 1, it was serviced at some time and the wrong rewind
release assembly was used.
The box shown is for a 1N, and it looks like the serial numbers have been
wiped off the box.
