Hi all!
Recently I won an auction at the bay, for a lot of reloadable cassettes, and today I got the package.
Most of the cassettes seems to be broken filcas (LTM Leica), two were complete, working IXMOOs (yay!), and the rest.. Well, that's what I need help with!
Please have a look at picture 1:
Click for larger.
The one far left is a pretty clever one, and I think it would be usable if the felt was replaced. Is this possible to do?
The one in the middle is a "Leitz-Afga-Kasette D.R.P (nazi Germany?)". This one has it's inside covered with torn felt.
Made from thin sheet brass, with a small weird knob on one end. Spool is brass/alu.
Should I even bother with this?
The third one is a extremely complex aluminum cassette, with plastic spool. No markings except for the one in picture two:

This one seems to be in perfect working condition, but I have no clue on what camera it's for. Any ideas?
Cheers!

The one in the 2nd picture seems to have a KMZ (Zorki, Zenit etc. maker) mark.

Jason,
the one in the second shot is for FED. It fits the FED-2 amongst others. It will not fit Kiev/Contax/Nikon. Those for Kiev have a small 'block' to the cap, not to the cilinder of the cassette.
The other Leitz one is a KASAM, it fits the Leica Standard and early Leica II camera's:
I'd be interested in it if you have no use for it, because I have!
EDIT: This thread has more detail on the KASAM cassette, also known as 'Type 1A': http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112856
