h._p. Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Anyone interested in a smile may like to take a look at this. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2954030112&category=11720 Who knows, perhaps the joke's on me and they really did make these in 1948... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_white2 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Looks like schlock to me. You'd have to be a meshugeneh to schlepp that around your neck, unless you had a lot of chutzpah. PJW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diego_k. Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 LOL, The writing is Ok, and the date is the one Israel was declared as a state. Intresting, if it wasnt so expensive for a Fed I would get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic_. Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 A fake. It would be odd of the Russians to make these items to honor Israel at the same time that they were shipping their own people to Russian Club Meds (gulags). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_bender Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 This IS funny - and completely unbelievable.<br> After WWII Stalin turned to curbing Jewish organizations that dared to communicate with their counterparts abroad, demanded Krimea as a place for a special Jewish republic inside the USSR, and in general acted too freely and attempting to get some degree of political power - too much to tolerate. Although known restrictive measures are dated from the early 1950s, it's unlikely that a state company would manufacture such a camera.<br> However, people do embellish their cameras in strange ways - putting green lizard skin around Leicas is one example. This may be another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_bender Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 And the same person is also selling "Russian KGB Vodka Flask 6oz. with real Badges", i.e. a simple stainless flask with a metal badge soldered or glued to it to push to credulous Westerners.
