I also saw it strange thing.....
If you see this sellers feedback not everyone seems to have understood that he will just get parts.
It looks as if he´s using Fed 5´s for replicas of the Fed 6.

Cameras are like bunnies
I remember that some time ago (about 2 years?) at least 1 complete Fed 6 TTL prototype was sold on Ebay. That was the real stuff. The buyer reported back when he received the camera on the 'Russian Camera' forum on Beststuff.com. There was also an auction for a set of spare parts at that time.
As for this auction; I don't know. There are certainly enough parts to turn a Fed 5B into a mock-up of a Fed 6 TTL. But I can't see the light sensor or the movable arm it is mounted on anywhere in those pictures. But I do see what looks like a Fed 5 light sensor...

What bugs is that even this black plastic material for making a grip on the right hand side has to be glued on and that´s what makes me a bit sceptical.
Two month ago I read in Stern about an American who bought two Bugatti classic cars in Germany. Good cars but exact replicas made in a specialized workshop in Argentina. I rremember that before the fall of the iron curtain Zorkis wrer made into fake Leicas and that it was a real problem then to ditinguish them if you were not a bit deeper into it.
So no specialized workshop but your own! I am jsut waiting for the digipack prototype from the 80´s .....I´ve heard it has wheels for easier transportation!

Wow, forget the TTL meter part, I am amazed at the fact that it had strap lugs !!
