You gotta see this. Desert Storm Leica!

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.)

you mean ..that is real camera? :) Good to know that also Leicas can look downright ugly :)
 
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.
 
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!
:D
 
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!

in 1941 iraq was certainly under axis control and there were afrika corp operating in iraq. just for the record...
good price for a leica though...
 
"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.
