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?
