According to a former 'Leicameister' -who repairs only 'mechanical' Leica's, and makes a living out of it; even in a small country like Holland this is possible!- this are rough made russian Leica's. I was number 5 in that week asking him what to do. He adviced not to buy; so I bought a real russian , Leica look, camera -FED?- for 50 bucks and was only a little disappointed detecting at home that loading a film was impossible. The inside was obviously used for other purposes. Thanks a lot for all advise. Henk
