Hmmm, is it original ? Box looks like metal box for Fotoniper from 80's.
Why Spiegelkasten has number 1378 ? Let's assume they started numeration from 1001. It means at least 378 similar items should have been produced. |

I supposed it was genuine when I put 1€ on it. And I was the first owner of this GOI FS-2, for only three quarters of an hour, alas.
BTW, I don't see why this one could be a fake... But perhaps one of us got it and will tell more: I hope so!

Exactly such camera Nr.1364 in exactly such bag was sold in 2012 on WestLicht for EUR 40.800,- (start price EUR 12.000,-).

Interesting about the difference of price. Thanks, Alexander.
Concerning the s/n, all the GOI FS-2 are in the 13xx to 15xx, by Princelle. Curiously, the KMZ ones seem to have earlier s/n, though made later: 1155 for Alexander's and 1246 (cited by Princelle). Two different numberings?

Jacques,
difference of prices I explain with the difference of auctions WestLicht and Ebay.
The "serious" bidder don't look for any cameras on Ebay. The WestLicht camera was a gift with special engraving.

Jacques,
I think that these two cameras (GOI and KMZ) have own numerations. GOI camera was produced till 1941 and KMZ camera in 1944/45.

Sure that generally we cannot find ultra rare and well known cameras, such as the FS-2, the Fed B, etc, on eBay.
When cameras are not really known, eBay allows some good finds. Happily!
A question about these FS-2: GOI ones have the same s/n on the housing reflex and the lens. Probably a sort of definitive proof that they were appaired at the factory. Is it the same for KMZ ones? I am not sure.
