Subject: Luftwaffe & Swastika & Eagle

Dear all,
Yesterday I saw 3 srcew Leica's, offered by someone from South East Europe at a
flea market in Belgian. Apart from russian icons, three Leica's, two military
green, one black, with on top and on the lens cap, engraved the German Eagle,
the text 'LUFTWAFFE' and a swastika; all this makes me feel uncomfortable, but
also curious. I noticed the numbers :
24 50 32
24 45 77
I looked inside and had not the impression of a russian copy.
He asked 10000 Bfr, about 260 US Dollar, inclusive the 50mm collabsible Elmar.
Fishy?

Regards    Henk
