MOLNIJA 3602
The Molnija 3602, which was produced for almost fifty years, between 1960 and 2008.
It goes back to the Cortebert 616 produced in Switzerland in the 30s / 40s, the machines of which were probably sold to Russia afterwards.
In the course of time, this work has been modified several times, above all the height has increased by over a millimeter, and the decoration has become more and more economical, until towards the end almost no decorative cuts or other decorations were applied.
