On ebay with SN 1233:

I asked about lens SN but so far no reply.

Strangely, the same camera is also listed in a different shop from Czech Republic while the first is from Slovakia:

Hello Christian,

Yes, it seems that this seller has two sites.
Nothing special to say about the camera which seems correct.
The lens too: it is a "one turn". As for the price...

Amitiés. Jacques.

If it wasn't for the price...[:(]

The seller finally responded - Lens Nr. is 1276 which nicely matches with the the SN 1233.

I wonder if they'll find someone willing to pay 4.000 USD for this (undoubtedly nice) camera.

Yes. A beautiful camera with an interesting lens.
All is very certainly original.
As for the price, it's a personal question. To buy or not to buy a camera: that is the question! [:D]

Jacques.

Very nice camera...
...but the price! For comparison, for my FED 4xxx I paid 3 years ago less than 400,- Euro, otherwise the Pioneer (xxx) costs today about 10.000,- USD. So somewhere in the middle there is a place for this one [:)].
