Hi All

Could you please help in identifying this model? A google search has not been fruitful. This is the only image I have so far.

It is a very coarse copy of a "Leica I Luxus" in fact a Zorki camera, without the usual top plate .

 Notice the metal band painted around the vulcanite,  the viewfinder clearly smaller than the viewfinder of the Leica I, and that the lens is an Industar (look for the control of the aperture).

 I would venture to bet that the "golden finish" is nothing more than polished brass.

There are lots of pieces like that in the net mainly from Ukraine.

Regards

Antonio
