    Luftwaffe camera - original?

    Hi, I have no idea about cameras, this was shown to me by a friend of mine who purchased it at a Flohmarkt in Germany. Any ideas if it is original or not?

    Cheers,
    Rick

              The engraving is definately fake. Is the camera fake as well?

                Hello Rick,

                I used to own one of those......was as happy as a little child until I read about some alarming fakes being around

                See http://www.cameraquest.com/fakerusk.htm
                All the best, Eric

                  Leica never made any camera's with eagles engraved, only with the " Eigentum..." mark. Another thing that gives it away, this is not a Leica IIIf, Leica only delivered those camera's for the German army and they have a slow speed dial on the front of the camera. This one has no slow speed dial.

                    This camera started as a Zorki camera which had the fake engravings added.

                      If you look on ebay for Leica II cameras you will find dozens of these fake leicas offered for sale.
