It is very nice box!!! Of cause it up for grabs for anyone and by courtesy rules of our community I should not disclose if I'll bit on it. To bad box does not have buy it now price. It'll avoid potential artificial price gauging.

The last bid for the box was $182.50 and reserve price was not met. It makes me wonder...

Alex should be starving…

I have only seen one other example of this box for the commemorative Ukrainian Kiev. I have never seen another one for sale. While many of us have the camera ... who also has the box?

Hello Bill,

Thank you Ulrich ... I knew I saw it somewhere before, and only once. Did the camera and the box come together?

Regards, Bill

Hello Bill,

they came together, but as Mr. Schulz says, when he bought the box some years ago, there was a normal Kiev IIIa in it. He sold it with a KIIV IIIa to me.
As he has written in an article before, there was only one other seen in 1998, which was sold at the Leica-Shop in Vienna. So, Alex has the third one or the was the guy who bought that one from the Leica-Shop.

Ulrich,

Thanks for the details again. I remember we discussed them on the forum before, but I forgot the exact details of the box. In any case, I have been in touch with Alex and have been able to buy the box to put my 1958 KNIB into! Not a cheap but, but very nice for my collection!

Regards, Bill
