Unlike Leicas engraved with other purported Third Reich military unit markings, those
cameras delivered by Wetzlar to the Luftwaffe were recorded as such in the factory
records, generally quite accurately. So the best way to confirm authenticity of a
Luftwaffen-Eigentum Leica is to consult the factory records, via Solms or a willing
Leica historian.
