Olympus OM1 with red markings??

PeteD · Oct 2, 2011

Hi all

recently on a certain well known auction website I've seen a couple of OM1's with the OLYMPUS logo above the lens painted in red plus other markings in red too. The latest one

claims that it's a limited edition but I've been unable to find anything out about it. Can anyone please shed some light?

TIA

Pete

I looked at all my references also, no mention of red markings. Hope someone else can come up with something. Good repaint job?

Well Pete, did you get the camera?

No it went for more than I was prepared to pay. If memory serves me correctly there have been 2 of these camera's on Ebay in the last 6 months. I've also seen a question asked about them on another forum. So far no one knows anything about them and I must admit that it's got me intrigued.
