Leica LTM Leica IIIc Luftwaffen Eigentum - serial numbers list?

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
Interesting item on Ebay: Item 200954675220, "Leica IIIc Navy (Kriegsmarine) w/ Eagle(Reichsadler)". This one seems easy to fake by adding an engraving and I can't imagine it is real but .... can someone check against the Lager list?

Interesting, looks legit but I would venture a guess that the flash sync isn't Leitz-issued. They likely would have upgraded the camera to also have a flash delay dial like the IIIf and IIIa-syn had. And would have replaced the red blind since they considered the material inferior.

Lets see where this non-original rare Kriegsmarine IIIc ends!
 
I noticed the flash sync. The red curtain looks in very good shape for an original. The few original red curtains I've seen have been sticky messes.

That IIIC Red Curtain went to Firma Kleininger in Bukarest on shipment 27534 on 21.8.41

IT IS A FAKE!!!!! Someone faked the Kriegsmarine Eagle on that one 100%

I wish you could get sellers thrown off the ebay for selling fake sh*t just isn't fair....

Well, $2225 for a 100% faked camera, verified to have been delivered to Romania, some collectors with money are just plain dumb! :p

I just stumbled on these while looking for a iiia.
The seller clearly states he/she doesn't know if it's authentic. My guess is it's not.

I'd do this if the price was right even if it is fake. I'm just looking for a user. :)

Further searches I found this.

For this price I'd have to be 100% sure of authenticity. Even if I could afford this, It would not be used.
