The only Nazi maked Leicas that I am aware of are luftwaffe marked.

Yet another Russian Fed 2 altered to deceive...

Probably a russian Zorki copy. Here are a few differences:
- Original leicas have the lens width in cm not mm. Like 5.0cm instead of 50mm.
- Original leicas have different markings. The Waa eagle was never used, but some had LW eagle.
- And lastly if i remember correctly the shutterbutton is different, its concave on originals and convex on fakes...or the other way around...

Anyway, there are heaps of fakes out there. And some DO have value. I had a brass one once and sold it for 90£...

And this is no Leica III like it should been if it was real Germany army issue. They only bought the Leica III.

As I said, the camera depicted is a Russian Fed 2 that has been altered to deceive. It is not a Zorki or any other Leica clone!
