Probably just an early model. The were made in about 4 different
factories in different countries and sightly different designs over the
years. And I doubt it was a prototype as the first year they were K500's.

Hi all,
I just picked up a K1000 on eBay, it is unlike the other K1000s that have
passed through my hands in that it is not an SE but it has split image
focusing (the circle around the split image is larger than on the SE that I
have) and the top is exactly the same as that of my KM, with serial number
and a little bump to the left of the prism and it says K1000 not KM. All my
other K1000s had/have the serial number on the bottom and no little bump.
Top and bottom plates are metal. Is this a long lost prototype that is worth
thousands, or ????
