strange fed 1 on ebay

http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/291313816461?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649

any idea about it ?

lost the bid... was a bit late sadly

Stephan

You lost it, and it was in Belgium?[:D]

The serial number is a Fed's one. So, it could be a 1d, with the cover partially stripped and painted in black.
The lens doesn't match: it is in bad position.
All that is non original. So,certainly, you have not lost anything...

Amitiés. Jacques.

There are always some strange ones like this Fed-body with a Zorki top-plate on ebay

Some details say to me that it isn't a real FED-Zorki. Some parts are from later cameras or from cameras made by FED. The pictures are too bad to tell more than this. And the price is much to high too.

Best wishes - Guido

I agree with Guido: the release button, for example, belongs to a later Zorki...

Jacques.

that is real!
I agree -It is not a true Fed Zorki pehaps the industar lens

but probably not once the diaphagm ring does not match the first series

This auction is at 106 euro now and still 10 minutes left. Must be some kind of special, hehehe. How many of you are bidding?

EDIT
Nevermind, it might have been because of the Jena lens, 174 euro in the end, 19 bidders.

This one was special because of the lens. It was made from a batch of lenses for Contax, some for Leica. The batch was produced until 4.12.1945.

Hi Lenny, about the 171571515654.
I think it is better not to interfere when an auction is open...
Of course, a Fed body with a Zorki cover is strange. And the Sonnar is not really convincing, even if the serial number is a good one.

Jacques.

Sorry Jacques, yes I should not interfere, it might have attracted more bidders, especially here when there was no "Fed" mentioned in the headline.
