I don't have (anymore) a Leica Standard E but the link here shows a true Leica Standard.

1938 Leica II (D)

http://www.leitzmuseum.org/CameraMakes/Leica/1939-Standard-E-3.jpg

There are a few things about this camera that lead me to believe that it is a well made copy (fake) Leica 1(E) - body and lens.

* The viewfinder without mounting flanges or screws

* The coved sleeve around the shutter release button

* The lettering on the lower ring of the shutter speed

I don't know enough about the lens to know Yes or No ... except that I was left with some documentation that notes it's a fake, but not why.

But are these in fact Leica elements perhaps from different models/era appended to this camera?

I'm looking to sell this body and lens unit but with full disclosure. Any ideas who manufactured this copy?
