This is getting interesting since now there are some theories about what exactly the model of my Pentax.

I think all of us agree it isn't normal Pentax S2, but so far the possibilities are:

- Early Pentax Super S2
- Very late Pentax S2 with 1/1000 shutter speed beta testing
- Early Pentax S3 in disguise
- Super S2 with swapped parts

For S3, the only possibility is from very early version because just like Super S2, from SN 340xxx and later the shutter speed dial does have clip on light meter slot on it.

I cleaned the exterior a bit, it was a bit dirty when I first got it

But internally definitely needs deep cleaning and fix

The package from Japan just arrived and it's my Asahi Pentax Super S2 in black paint paired with Auto Takumar 55 mm f/2.

Looks pretty good outside but the shutter is stuck and so does the aperture blades, while the lens needs cleaning as well (going to bring it for CLA in near future).

But I'm quite curious, is this possibly the early version of Super S2? Since so many other examples online shows later refinements, mainly the clip on light meter provision on the shutter speed dial and auto reset film counter. Not to mention the serial number is very low for a Super S2, concurrent with normal S2
