Replica Leica Betriebsk

Description

This replica-fake-copy Leica has it all  – “Leica” engraving, Betriebsk engraving, “Elmar” lens and even a small Nazi eagle engraving in the accessory shoe.
This replica appears to be based on a Zorki-1 with Industart-22 lens. My guess is was made in Eastern Europe in the early 2000’s.

This is mostly a curiosity camera, but it was fully serviced, has a smooth shutter (this is a “Leica” after all), clean optics and a clean lens. The RF patch is somewhat dim, needs a contrast object to focus.
