An original Luftwaffe Leica

Hello to all,

the other day I found an original Luftwaffe Leica, I know it's not a Zorki or FED, but they are related :-)

I was surprised, the shutter speeds all work fine and the lens is in good condition.

The vulcanite has unfortunately come off in one place, which is a pity, but that doesn't detract from it.

The engraving "Luftwaffen-Eigentum" on the back has been ground out, but you can still recognize it. On the top is the typical FI.No38079 engraving.

One of the shutter curtains is red, the other black. But both are original, it looks like. Perhaps the black cloths had run out on this particular camera and red ones were used, who knows ;-)
