The price is real for the seller.
The camera is rare though. From what I read, only 125 "Three crown" cameras were built for the Swedish Military.

Anybody who buys from that seller should BEWARE! They are 100% crooks and scam artists.

The camera is truly rare, but I would gauge its value at something legitimate, like the Westlicht auction.
Not this particular seller on ebay.
Their last auction had a 3-crown IIIg go for 18,000 Euros ($24K).

Wow. That's bad. Maybe this one is legit, but it doesn't really matter. If you are selling these super expensive collector stuff, one mistake (or intentional fraud) like that means you kissed your credibility good bye for good.

No wonder this one didn't come up in my searches... they didn't put "User" in the title!

"User" means a camera that has been used enough you're not afraid to use itdoes that mean its in a non-working condition?

This one is a "user" too, but it is much rarer than the black paint IIIg. It is a black paint IIIc.
