[Weltur]

Hi there,

i am hoping people here can help me. i am considering getting myself a an LTM leica. which if i like them may turn into many (going on my past experiance with other camera makers). However i coarse i do not want to end up with a fake! but the unusual cameras interest me from a historical point as does pre-war and war time models which many of my other camera are as well (pre-war that is)

this is a camera i have been considering- It is said to be by the seller,, to be an early war IIIC with unusual black top/bottom and chrome fittings. It has no serial #. And is engraved engraved Leitz-Egentum (Leitz Property). i notice that the letter 'I" is missing from the word Eigentum but i dont speak German and dont know if this is significant. it also has flash sync, however it does not operate.

i am wondering if folk here can throw any light on what this is? is it genuine? Fake? or just some interesting Leica property camera upgraded? for what reason?
