If it's the link, you simply paste the link into the thread. I'll try and attach a pic of the offending item. As the seller is quite obviously passing off a $40 camera as a $4000 one, I presume no one will mind if we laugh at this 'promo' photo...
This 'WWII" camera is based, I thnk on a Zorki 4 - the camera once memorably described as a 'normal Zorki that's been hit with an ugly stick'...

Its based on the 2nd version of the Fed 2. I will try to figure out how to paste a link into a thread. Will make foolish mistakes, but I have to learn.

W.W.II ? German military? camera leica- Ernst Wetzlar
Luftwaffen eigentum?? Won this camera on auction last month. I know little about cameras but nothing from military. Will try to describe as best as I can. First the case is all leather- real and thick. There are 2 german military imprints - hallmarks on the bottom of leather.. In the front is written- LEICA. The lens looks ok. it is written summicron. I think it is made from ERNST LEITZ WETZLAR- Dont know nothing about this maker!!??. There are 2 small eagles - one in the front cap - one on the top.Will send additional pictures of those who want to see more details.Shutter works well on different speeds.Focusing is working I think properly. Auto shutter works well as well. Other than that a little dust outside. Please note that this item is sold as is- no guarantees from any kind. All sales are final with no return or refund- regarding functionality of the camera- I`ve sold in the past many and can guarantee what I`ve wrote earlier, but I`ve never tested the camera with film!!.
I wonder why Leica doesn't file VERO complaints on this kind of stuff:

Wow! This one even has something called an auto-shutter. Someone should grab this right away!

If this be a product of a war-time German factory, no doubt it was the infamous KRAP Werks. Johne

I missed that. I guess that means the shutter release button is stuck.

What's with the big black Paintbrush dots on the lens cap and top? Obviously added and placed to cover up something... some imperfection ~ naaa, not on this gem .... or .... the finger prints of the counterfeiter wannbe and butcher of this fine FSU instrument. Hmmmm... the plot thickens.

The seller is probably trying to hide the swastika emblems. eBay Uk has special rules:
eBay has always exercised judgment in allowing or disallowing certain listings consistent with the spirit of a world wide community. Therefore, eBay will judiciously disallow listings or items that promote hatred, violence, or racial intolerance, including items that promote organizations (such as KKK, Nazi, neo-Nazis, Aryan Nation) who profess such views. For example, eBay will generally remove items that bear the marks of such organisations, such as relics from the KKK or Nazi helmets....
Examples of items that will generally be removed:
Items that bear symbols of the Nazis, the SS, or the KKK, including authentic German WWII memorabilia that bears such marks, whether visible or covered.

Several years ago, Yahoo got in trouble with French authorities for allowing the sale of Nazi memorabilia on their internet auction site.

Good research R.J. I didn't have a clue. Too bad the dots weren't big enough to cover the whole wretched thing.
