rob_x2004 Posted April 16, 2007 Share #9 Posted April 16, 2007 Of the five ever built, one was lost when the owner was shot by police in the park, the other confiscated when the owner went to prison on fire arms offences, one was turned by the mother of the collector geek during a fire arms amnesty that coincided with the collectors trip abroad to indulge his other fetish, collecting rare and endangered stamps, another went holidaying at Guantonomo Bay and we just dont know when or if he and it will ever surface, and you could have this one...from...

wattsy Posted April 16, 2007 Share #11 Posted April 16, 2007 It must be safer to use than my Noflexar 400..... Blimey, that looks like an unhappy cross between an UZI and a laser gun out of a 1980s sci-fi film. The 'Tamarkin' accessory looks like something Lee Harvey Oswald might have used.

luigi bertolotti Posted April 16, 2007 Share #14 Posted April 16, 2007 What about this one, recently sold by Tamarkin? Tamarkin Camera Rare Camera Auctions IF it is original, a nice accessory officialy listed by Leitz before WWII, and its code was... RIFLE... E.Leitz people were nice with these 5-letter codes...the first Leica had code LEICA, the first Elmar lens was coded ELMAR, the first Elmar 90 (long focus) was coded ELANG... the first Telyt 200 TELOO, all euphonious names, then, with the explosion of items, the strangest coded appeared, like XOONS or ESNAR or YMOOL... It could take 135 200 or 400 lenses, with a complex film advance mechanism, a strange long viewer for a reflex box that was ALMOST like a Visoflex I). Very rare, maybe less than 10 made... Zeiss made a similar device for Contax. P.S.: I had given a look at the picture... something strange in the finder... in the wooden shoulder arm....mmmhhh .... smells not so good...

doubice Posted April 16, 2007 Share #15 Posted April 16, 2007 I had given a look at the picture... something strange in the finder... in the wooden shoulder arm....mmmhhh .... smells not so good... Luigi, Stan Tamarkin is one of the more reputable US dealers in Leica collectibles. On his site the RIFLE is listed as being original, I am sure that he would not make such a mistake. Don't forget that not all RIFLE units were identical, as most were basically hand made. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted April 17, 2007 Share #16 Posted April 17, 2007 Uh, Ok... I do not pretend to be an official expert... simply noticed that prism is slightly different from the one depicted in Leitz marketing materials of the time... but you are probably right... it would be absurd to "fake" a similar monster...

doubice Posted April 17, 2007 Share #17 Posted April 17, 2007 Well..... maybe not a Leica accessory, since I made it myself from a few Leica parts. Credit has to go to Walter Benser who designed and sold a similar item in the 1950's and 1960's. Perfect when travelling with two bodies - one body around the neck, the one with the lens carrier on the shoulder. Both loaded with film and with four lenses ready for immediate action.

spydrxx Posted April 18, 2007 Share #19 Posted April 18, 2007 Ron -WOW, that is one incredible assembly of Leica goodies...I never thought of stacking my accessory lens holder in quite that fashion.
