It is definitely a real camera. Suitable for any Nazi-come-lately out there. :eek:

Perfect for Bernie Ecclestone perhaps?

real Leica IIIc stepper, I would take the "swastika 'n eagle" engraving with a grain of salt though.

Would one call this Leica a Goose-Stepper?

Geez, I'm glad we don't have Grand Wizard special editions of the Kodak Ektra surfacing....

From my experience of the research I had done for the original issue #383xxx Kriegsmarine I once, owned, I`d say that this might be a suspicious camera and the seller also states that it`s not 100% certain.

I`d pass on it, while that VIDOM with a KM service number, just does`nt rub me right, by the time those cameras were issued the VIDOM was well out of normal sales and service and that style of ingraving was only done on early KM issues, (1940/41) that camera is from April/May 1942, so it`s not an early camera.......

PS: I`m waiting to see somebody on evilbay offering Eva Braun`s specially made 1942 IIIC K Chrome with matching f1.5/50 Xenon and the Crocodile Skin covering!!!!!!:p

*Trust me I`m pretty sure Eva NEVER had a camera even close to being like that - History has it recorded that she was personally more into using Rolleiflex`s, but I`m sure came in contact with Leica`s through working with Hoffman, but she never had any camera`s given to her from Leitz ~ but, I`m sure someone will have enough fantasy to conger up something with her initials on it someday..... :(*
