unpimp deine auto-kamera!
Well, it is a war production model: K suffix s/n.
...and the wrong desert war methinks.
(Das Afrika Korps never got thru to Iraq.)

I sure hope it is a Leica copy. Oskar Barnack would have wept if he saw this.

The old zorki 1 like the softwares in your computer: the same engine with so different skins... 🙂

You have to admire the skill involved in this job. But it resembles no camouflage pattern I've ever seen, whether Afrika Korps or Desert Storm or otherwise -- a case of not knowing when to stop.

My M5s need red dots!
Painful pathetic puny pissy paint job. 😱

It's a Zorki with its Industar 22, but the funny thing is that they added the slow speed dial, which no Zorki 1 has ever had!

It gets worse-
It gets worse-
My local used camera shop has had one just like that (as well as a gold plated one and at one time a Woody too!). It has been on their sshelf for something like a year, which tells me something really awful- there was more than one of these things made!

now, if I could get an M8 with the new "digital" camo - we might have something there!

"Slow speed dial just decoration". At least it's cheaper than the countless "Berlin Olympics" or "Luftwaffe" Leica copies that come up on ebay most of the time.

...and I was under the impression that Iraq was nominally under British control in 1941, dating back to Iraqi "independance" in 1927. Apart from a few spats, don't think the Afrika Korps ever threatened anything there.
