The case shown looks like mine, but mine is also government marked. Tha camera is NOT marked M2R... it is marked M2, just like the one on Ebay. Looks authentic to me, but you need to look at the bottom of the inside of the chassis. Engraved plate showing how to load film = probably authentic. No plate, not authentic. Check the wax seal also. Frank According to Lager, "Leica illustrated history, vol. I, p. 200-201". These M2's occur between serial-number 1163150 and 1163770.
