On ebay (Item 251154562095). Dug up in the Kurland Pocket.
Maybe someone can reanimate it.

The best camera is one that still works!
I'd love to buy that and send it to Youxin for a CLA with a note saying ... "Please notify me of any extra costs over and above your normal screwmount service fee before going ahead."

As a general rule I try not to buy cameras without a shutter release collar...

I don't see anything a little WD-40 can't fix.....

Of course, the ad should have said "worked fine last time it was used" . . .
It is interesting that the leather and brass has sort-of survived but that the body is completely gone.

I assume it was found in a soldiers grave.

I would think the entire bunker could have been a mass grave. But who knows for sure.

I am resisting the urge to email the seller:
Hi,
I'm interested in this camera and have a few questions:
-Is the lens clear and clear?
-Any oil on the aperture blades?
-How is the contrast on the rangefinder spot?
-Any viewfinder fungus?
-Is the leatherette cracked anywhere?
Thanks!

Don't buy it - your whiskers will get stuck if you try to use it

If this goes for more than the price of a normal camera I'll be burying my Leicas in the back yard in preparation for sale in future!
Interesting that all the alloy is just about eaten away ... I supect the lime in the concrete of the bunker was responsible.
Any bidders from RFF yet?

Watch that step!
Hmmm well, I want to see a pre 1945 "stepper" IIIC with a 303. or a 45cal. round through it, that would be a souvenir....

WD-40, JB Weld, and a little bailing wire... We can fix anything with those 3 items...
