Hi Fred
This is a fake for sure.
This camera pretend to be a Leica 1 C. But Leica 1 C looks complitely different. There were no chrom version of Leica 1 C.
Leica has not put numbers on lenses before 1933 so lack of serial number on front of the lens does not mean this is a fake.
And there are a lot of other differences between your camera and Leica. Smile
Hi Fred
From the number on the lens, it appears to be a re-branded post-war FED-50/Industar 10.

But overall, it presents as a well finished camera.
Thank you for your message...
I try to find here a topic spcialized in fakes, but I don't find one.
Does somebody could help me to find it, or if it does not exist, I will open new topic in order to share some informations and pics about fakes?
