Hi Vlad,
thank you. What do you think about the covering? I haven't seen such Gelveta covering yet. Might it be original?
Regards, Alexander |

Westlicht speaks of "green crinkle covering"... It looks brown on the photo.
To compare with the JLP which notes cameras with "a green crinkle paint" (G91 version) and a "chrome front not original" (G93 version), like this one.

Alexander, I have not seen many of these, so honestly my expertise on these are pretty limited, these are very rare...  |

Luis,
do you mean Kolar 'Prototype' (catalog#590)? It seems for me to be a part of some soviet military equipment in the Czech dislocation of Soviet Army.

And what about the n° 507, a beige/ivory Contax Jena...
25 of these cameras were specially made for the 1950 Fair of Leipzig, but I think some others were officially made before at the factory. This one belongs to this pre series.
Amitiés. Jacques.
