Is this a IIIF ??

No, it's a IIIa. Built-up construction, 1/1000 second, separate VF and RF eyepieces. Clueless seller anyway ("I'm not into foto cameras").
 
Ok, thanks.

There's a webpage somewhere from somebody here on the forum where it is explained how to see the difference between a genuine Leica and the (mostly russian) fakes.

Any idea about the link to that page anyone ?

Thanks,
Stefan.
 
It is definitely not a IIIf, as others have noted. In Germany, at the time, I believe that they called that model the Model F - in the US and over time in general, it has come to be called the IIIa. Maybe the source of the confusion?
 
The IIIa was actually the Model G (as was the IIIb, I think, just to make things even more confusing). Model F was the III.
