Made by Moscowphoto, a famous remaker. Even colour shows it is imaginatory model.
Best regards,
Juhani |

I sometimes wonder why I don't buy such cameras...
It will put some colour in my always black rows of Leica like cameras...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

Made from a Fed, as it seems. Very interesting, even if all that glitters is not gold, alas...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

and I suppose that Jacques will tell me that it's a very early fed transformed in a leica II hybrid...
no it's seems to be really n°1505, upgraded twice at the factory...

A pity this camera is not in its IA original condition, with a mushroom release button...
I own too two well used Leica IC...
But all that is OT!

This is maybe the only fantasy camera I like, saw it on Juhani's website, #53, so I guess 99 were produced.
What was it before, a Fed? The secret might be under the base plate. |

Thank you so much Fred.
Now I know and many of these maybe 99 cameras might be different under the baseplate.
Merry xmas to you too. |

Hi Fred!
Probably it is not a Fed.
On most Fed 1-s (except early 1a-s), the lock for the base plate was not screwed like on your camera, but riveted.
So, either you have an early 1a, either a Leica (more probable). Or something else!
Please, have a look at http://www.novacon.com.br/h3anexo2c.htm
Congratulations! Jacques.
PS: Did you asked the French seller about it? |

Hi Jacques
I had a look at this website about this camera..
He says it is a reflex finder....
But in fact , it is just a bubble level....

Yes,you are right. It's only the bubble which helps the camera being right.
But I think you should have a close look at it.
The vulcanite, the position of the central screw under the lens crown, the baseplate screw: all that denotes an early prewar body (1b or early 1c).
If we add this Leica type lock to tight the baseplate, there are questions to put... Anyway, it's not a simple fake...
Amitiés. Jacques.
