what kind of leica is that... it's a fed...

found on the L-camera forum... a leica fake but a true FED S...
could anyone see what model it is and what date of production it looks like.
Look also at the skin or vulcanite, it looks like period leather ? or am I wrong ? looks a bit too shiny for a period fake...

What is the top shutter speed? The leatherette looks like it has been replaced, rangefinder cover could be either Zorki or Fed. doesent look original, even for a fake. Don[8D]

ZORKIE'S Survive

If indeed this is a Fed-1-S body, (with a top speed of 1000), Then this camera is an insult to all of us, and in my opinion whoever faked it should be jailed.
Though the Fed-1-S is not ultra rare there are relatively few of them left, and to do this is to one of the remaining ones is sacriligious.
The original f2 lens is obviously missing. Perhaps it was already missing before the camera was faked, but that is no excuse this kind of vandalism.
Best wishes, Jim.[:)]

It surely does look like a FED-S with that shutter dial... I second Jim's opinion, blatant disregard for history!
