I have a Leica IIIC with red curtain. Featuring the special engraving “F-05100” on its top plate. Based on my knowledge, this is a Leica camera belonging to air force, and the seller informed me it belong to the “Croatian Air Force.” Considering that Croatia has strong connection to German Nazi during WWII, this seems entirely plausible. I don't believe it's fake, because fraudsters would easily choose to fake the popular Luftwaffe IIIC rather than an extremely rare type. I verified its serial number, which was indeed produced during wartime, and the red curtain is further evidence of its wartime production. However, I've found no information available. I haven't encountered any other Leica IIIC with the engraving “F-05100” . Therefore, I am asking assistance here. Could you help me determine the historical background and value of this camera? Alternatively, could you provide me with channels to obtain its official documentation? Should I contact Leica directly?

Hi! I have 3 older Leica's that I inherited from my grandfather. I have been trying to look up the value and the best place to sell them in the Netherlands but I am a bit lost. I have a Leica CL with a summicron-c 1:2/40 and an Elmar-c lens I have a Leica II mini and a Leica D.R.P. Ernst Leitz Wetzlar No 508566 Elmar1:3,5 All are working and in perfect condition, including original user manuals. Can someone advice me what the best place is to go and maybe give an estimation of what I can ask for these cameras? I also have a few Leica books, I would like to know the best place to sell these as well. Thank you so much in advance! Sara
