Bought a film SLR, don`t know the model

[ichiro]

Hi,

So I bought my first SLR, its a used 35 mm Canon EOS Rebel, and its in great shape, Im happy with it so far, but the owner didnt know the exact model. all i know is that it is black, has `Canon EOS Rebel`` logo on the right top front of the camera, and the manual says 1990. Is this like the first Rebel of the Canon Line, might be.

if anyone knows about it, and can tell me anything about it, thatd be great.
