Hi Luiz,

Hello Gentlemen!
I missed that somehow on eBay, absolutely different spy camera design that I've seen in Soviet cameras, very elegant. It definitely looks like it's based on the Minox design. The elegance of this camera screams KMZ civilian designer to me and not the shop that made F-21 and other spy cameras seen on the market. Those seem very crude compared to this one.. almost like Nikolay Mikhaylovich Marenkov designed it


Cheers,
Vlad.

Of course is a fake or a dummy
but everything points to a factory built

This is a GRU prototype. You'll find it in Keith Melton's new book: The secret history of KGB spy cameras.
