Reloadable casettes: identification and restoration

[Jockos]

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:

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 is for Kiev or Contax rangefinders.

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

I knew the symbol was familiar! used to have a Zorki 4.

Tanks for the ID help!
Looks a lot like this:

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

I'd gladly swap it for a IXMOO!
