I wouldn't buy a swastika-bearing anything, for reasons we have discussed. Let alone anything even purporting to have SS origins. However would you also decline to buy any Leica produced during the war? After all there were - as I understand it - Leicas that were not military issue produced during the period. Some of those too must have taken images of things which we would rather not discuss...and then there are all those Leicas that arrived in the hands of the occupying forces after the war, many of which had wartime origins. Many pre-war lenses may have had a similar history. Where would you draw the line? It's difficult.
