Hey, that's not just any Leica-FED. It is a 1500 Euro FED, a one and only.

I also have a FED with some Cyrillic script, but alas Papa Joe's name isn't any where to be found on my camera.

"Ich hoffe ich habe Nichts vergessen" ... no, nothing. With the price, all is said ...

I have checked photos of the 1952 MayDay parade in Red Square and I don't see the camera around Uncle Joe's neck. He must have shipped it off to Germany and bought himself a Nikon.. LOL

Actually the Stalinets (Сталинец, he reads this as "Stalineu") model appears to be a not uncommon flavour of fake Zorkies. You find it on Nate's page (here, with pictures) and also on Tom's page on fake Zorkies (here, under "Stalinet").
