Leica LTM Is This A Leica?

[Steve B.]

Heck, yes, it looks like a fake to me; that's why I bid $10.00 for it! Thought it might be fun to have a genuine counterfeit. But when it got to be more than the worth of an honest Zorki, I quit bidding. The serial number says it's a Swedish black IIIg made in 1960, according to the list at CameraQuest.com. The carrying case has the same styling as my honest Zorki (that I bought for $5 in 1960, on my last day of High School). The top plate lettering sure looks "clunky" to me. The shutter release button and guard look identical to my Zorki, too. I may have to my eat my words, but I've never seen a screw mount Leica with shutter button having a cable release socket, or a tulip shaped guard. No comment about the just plain ugly lens cap!

Do you think someone should send an email via eBay to the purchaser regarding this discussion of ours???

The serial numbers of the black Swedish IIIg ended at 988025

I may put this up on ebay later. It has great sentimental value but with Christmas right around the corner.....
