At last , further indication of the skills of the ex-Arsenal guys -

Rat Contax stripped , shutter retained , paint stripped and polished , tan leather .
The polished metal is much better than expected and most brassing is around the rangefinder windows and focusing dial

It's whisper quiet and SOOOO smooth , like my CLA 1952 KNeB II , the others less so , but OK . it's amazing how good this camera has become , because it has obviously had a hard life .

It was inspired by the hugely expensive ivory Contax which the fakers should have copied LOL .
