I spontaneously decided to look at the Buy It Now offers from an eBay dealer and saw a “Kiev 3 set with universal viewfinder and Jupiter 8” for a relatively high price. I took a look and saw a KIIV IIIa with universal viewfinder, Jupiter 8, and Jupiter 3 in a nice velvet-lined case! That put the price into perspective. After a quick inquiry to make sure all parts would be delivered, the set is now here. The case is really beautiful; someone must have made the interior themselves. It has space for a camera, the viewfinder, another 50mm lens, a Jupiter 11, a Jupiter 9, and a Jupiter 12. Since I still have matching silver lenses, I'll probably fill up the case :-) Here are a few pictures, the serial number of the camera is only 6 digits long:
