He asked 10000 Bfr, about 260 US Dollar, inclusive the 50mm collabsible Elmar. Fishy? >> Extremely fishy! All european flea markets are full of fake Leicas. These usually are converted Zorki cameras, the conversion usually is done in Poland. Very common also are gold Leicas with reptile coating... Their collector's value is about zero. My suggestion: forget about the collector's value and take it as it is. If you are willing to pay 260 bucks for an outdated camera in supposedly less than mint condition with a swastika on it - just do it. If not - leave it Cheers Frank
