Interesting fake

I only own a few fakes. This is one of the most interesting. The metal has a strange brownish tint. It was strange enough to me that I had the plating tested to find out what it was!

Challange: What is this camera plated with? I will confirm if it is guessed or will post the answer monday.

Hi Nathan,

I own a Leica fake with a similar finish. I think it looks to be nickel.
This particular fake was finished beautifully, and above all, put together better than new.

Wow this is cool looking version! It does look nickel-plated, I agree with Steve. I have same exact one but shiny chrome finish . I can post pictures if interested.

These are the other 2 that I have!








My Siberia:

I will guess ... silver-plating? Maybe browned as it tarnished a bit?

Regards, Bill

The first fake Yura very probably is plated with real Titanium! In Russia this was once common once I bought real titanium dishes at extreme low price with a street vendor. Star War surplus after the fall of the Empire!

Congradulations Luiz!!!!!!!!!!

Good eye! Yes it is plated in Titanium.

I was curious what it would cost to do it to a camera so I researched it. I was quoted over $5000 and it would take approx 6 months.

Nathan!
Isaid you my own KGB give me all informations!!!
