MOLNIJA 3602
The Molnija 3602, which was produced for almost fifty years, between 1960 and 2008.
It goes back to the Cortebert 616, which was produced in Switzerland in the 1930s and 1940s, and whose machines were probably subsequently sold to Russia.
Over time, this work was modified several times, in particular the height increased by over a millimeter, and the decoration became more and more economical until, towards the end, almost no decorative cuts and other decorations were added.
