Hi Mark, thanks for that, I was just browsing your information.
What does your comment "an OM-1 with a bottom plate with a serial number
less than 175000 is difficult
to find. Most of those OM-1 non-MD bodies were originally M-1's which had
their top plate replaced by Olympus" mean for this camera then?
Is this an M1 with a new top cover? An OM1 with a different bottom plate? Or
something else? 7567416193 on eBay.
Thanks in advance!

You can find my records database here: http://olympus.dementia.org/M-1
Basically any body with a serial number higher than 175000 would be suspect.
An OM-1 with a bottom plate with a serial number less than 175000 is
difficult
to find. Most of those OM-1 non-MD bodies were originally M-1's which had
their top plate replaced by Olympus.
