I won't try to answer your question, however one thing you may notice with
some of the earlier OM 1s is that the base metal is not brass, but rather a
"white" or "silver" color. The early OM 1s did not have the motor
drive/winder mechanism and its related cap. Bill Barber

Hi, I am back! (out of digest)
I got an OM1 and I was surprised to find that it is not motor-drive/winder
"ready". The serial number is T55746. I removed the pressure plate
(thanks
to the Dutch friend who told me about this) and it is stamped Z 3 2.
Can someone tell me when this was produced and if it is a newer model?
Related question: Are there any numbers of how many different cameras from
each model were produced? Just looking at ebay sales, it seems that the
most
common Olympus is the OM1, followed by OM10.
