Leica WWII Rangefinder on eBay
By Jared Newman
Do you trust eBay sellers who abuse the caps lock and butcher the English language? Have an affinity for Nazi battle tools and $27,999 to spare? You sicko. Anyway, someone is selling a Leica rangefinder, apparently used on the Russian front in 1942. The seller says it came from the estate of a military collector. “100% WORKS, NO CRUCKS ON THE LENZES,” the description reads. That’s great, because you never know when you’ll need to spot the Luftwaffe. The original case is included, and there’s free shipping if you buy it now. No returns, so I tried to figure out if this is a fake. A Photo.net forum post from 2007 has one photo with a similar emblem in the corner, and commenters suggest it’s is not the real deal. As if you were seriously considering anyway. [eBay via CrunchGear]
