Pray, quit being deliberately obtuse.  The cameras are made by a small
optical works in Japan -- Bob Shell (and, I would suspect, a few on this
List) know the fellow who makes them and can tell you more.  These are
cutsey little items but of no great interest in the general schemata of
either Leica or Rollei photography.  Nor is anyone "defrauding" you, as you
seem to persistently suggest.  Minox has listed them on their Site, I would
presume, as they use Minox film.  No biggie.  Ford occasionally sells a car
badged as a "Jaguar" but no one in this country, at least, would presume
that the car in question came from Dearborn, Michigan.
