It was a black cutaway model, in a wood box (a LTM model) with black lens. The camera worked, but was missing the body covering and the top of the rangefinder housing metal. Quite attractive. But more interesting was a decal/plaque in the box with the words "Max Berek" and some other (german) words, which I did not understand. The dealer did'nt know much about it except that it was current, that each one was different, and that this one was $700.00 USD. If I recall, the finish was more a very fine black crackle than a plack paint. Does anyone know anything about these cameras? sam alexander
