Circa 1961 to 1966 approximately; economy model of the Pentax H3, Pentax S3 series but with top shutter speed of only 1/500th vs 1/1000th for the H3; has manually resettable film exposure counter; diaphragm control is automatic; available in all black or chrome and black models.
Actually the H1 and H3 differ only in the labeling of the of the shutter speed dial. The H1 has the position on the rotating shutter speed dial for the 1/1000th speed but is not labeled. The speed at that location is precisely the same (1/1000th second) as it is for the labeled speed on the H3.
No built in light meter but has notch in the shutter speed dial to couple to the clip on light meter (early sn's did not have this notch).

New in box with warranty papers as it came from the dealer Indistinguishable from new but no box or no papers or both Very close to new condition with only subtle signs of use or handling. Extremely nice condition but does show some handling and use but no hard use whatsoever. Excellent condition but shows some wear and use. Perfectly Excellent operating condition but cosmetics leave something to be desired. Usable but has mechanical, optical and cosmetic issues as indicated in individual descriptions Issues as indicated in individual descriptions Very significant conditions as indicated in individual descriptions. The lower end of this range is basically a paperweight that looks something like it might once have taken some pictures.
