(1946,
21th Showa) The lens and shutter are the same as the pre-war model II, but the face plate is different. This version is more makeshift, with manufacturers wanting to ship goods quickly and the Japanese people were very poor. Products were made utilising parts from previous version. The Mycro New model may have a glass fitted finder eyepiece. The top part and body is soldered, and eyepiece was inserted simply. The inside of body and the metallic frame around the red window on the back were both painted black. Similar to the ORIGINAL model , the finish of the body of the Mycro NEW model (Post-war) is semi-lustre chrome plating, though the top is nickel plating. It has the engraving "Mycro PATENTS" on the top. Its font-size is different and little small when compared it with a Mycro I model (pre War).3 band | 3 band Arrow | knurl
