Odd items on that auction site

I've been seeing some odd offerings lately. Last week was a working II with Attrape SN, but this one takes the cake.

Wow, that is an ugly turd even by fake Barnack standards - I think I'd rather have one of the ridiculously tarted-up "Panzer Kommandos" ones. Given that the seller has a total mishmash of offerings and no other photo stuff, I wonder if they even know it's fake?

If you are going to spend the money to buy a Leica there are many many more good ones out there. This one would make a good weight for fishing.

Here's a good one in case your kids don't go to that ivy league school.

Many sellers are honest and say that they are "copies":

Sometimes they aren't as honest, and claim that they are Leitz products (but mention FED and Zorki as "compatible"):

Ebay's policy:
Items that bear a company's official brand name or logo can be listed as long as the products were made or officially endorsed by that company.


For a safer buying and selling experience on eBay, we don't allow listings for counterfeit items, fakes, replicas, or unauthorised copies. unauthorised copies include things that are backed-up, bootlegged, duplicated, or pirated—which are all illegal. These kinds of things may infringe on someone's copyright or trademark.

But what they say and what they do are different things.
